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
Act as the primary liaison between automation, supply chain, production, and: development operations so factory tooling and automation are built and deployed to meet program milestones
Develop and implement manufacturing processes and shop workflows that: increase throughput, efficiency, and personnel safety
Manage the build, configuration, and installation of all modular automation: assets in the team’s catalog, from raw-material purchase through cell build, integration and handoff to automation and production
Work with peer engineering and support teams to drive design updates in: response to manufacturing issues, tooling constraints, part obsolescence, and requirement changes
Prepare the engineering documentation required to move hardware from: development to production, including assembly and integration work instructions and manufacturing bills of materials
Work with internal and external suppliers to fabricate piece parts and: subassemblies at rate, or to supplement internal capacity
What they're looking for
- Contribute to design reviews as the manufacturing expert on design for: manufacturability, design for reliability, design for maintenance, shop capability, and quality control
- Spearhead manufacturing strategy, including cycle time and make-versus-buy to: meet or exceed departmental objectives without compromising quality
- Design, develop, validate, and implement production tooling so the process is repeatable and efficient
- Serve as the primary point of contact for nonconforming product on cells,: panels, and tooling, and lead troubleshooting, root-cause investigation, and corrective action
