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
Own hardware from conceptual design through production and operation for aircraft installations
Develop design criteria, collaborate on requirements, and drive system-level optimization
Perform analysis on designs including hand calculations, FEA, and CAD in a rapidly changing environment
Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high level systems trades: and steer overall product direction
Lead design reviews and work with FAA designees to certify components and systems
Generate detailed production drawings using GD&T and performing a tolerance stack up analysis
What they're looking for
- Drive holistic DFM to create elegant designs with a focus on piece part and: process count reductions, error proofing at every step of fabrication and integration, and consistent performance and production metrics
- Establish an efficient product lifecycle starting in the supply chain all the: way through final integration that balances cost, complexity, and quality; work closely with partner teams to design and realize an efficient in-house production line
- Perform environmental and performance testing on hardware to validate: analysis and demonstrate compliance to design criteria
- Own product delivery timeline through conception, design, assembly, and: service. Iterate rapidly to maximize reliability and performance
