The opportunity
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
What you'll do
Design, commission, and qualify production processes and equipment for solar: cell manufacturing, from pilot builds through full-rate production
Lead the production ramp by working through multi-disciplinary issues to hit volume, yield, and cost targets
Drive yield, uptime, and rate improvements to hit program targets (OEE)
Lead prototype and engineering builds, ensuring incremental milestones for production development are met
Provide feedback to the design and process teams to improve design for: manufacturability and process robustness
Collaborate with equipment engineering, supply chain, production technicians,: and quality to keep processes stable and solve production problems quickly
What they're looking for
- Identify and establish requirements for automation opportunities, and evaluate them for return on investment
- Manage work instructions, process documentation, and training for owned processes
- Drive corrective actions, root cause analysis, and process improvements on owned processes and products
- Use process and equipment data to find bottlenecks, cut scrap, and put: preventive actions in place that protect rate and yield
