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 mechanical, electro-mechanical, and actuator hardware from conceptual: design through production and on-orbit operation
Design precision mechanisms and actuators: gimbals, fast-steering stages, flexures, launch locks, and related kinematics — that meet pointing, stiffness, mass, and reliability requirements
Develop structural designs and load paths for laser terminals or imaging: payloads; perform and interpret structural analysis (static, modal, random vibration, shock) to close the design
Integrate electronics into flight hardware: PCBA packaging, thermal/mechanical interfaces, harnessing, connectors, and electro-mechanical assemblies
Rapidly iterate on design and analysis to inform system-level trades across: mass, stiffness, pointing, cost, and manufacturability
Drive design for manufacturability and assembly for both high-volume Starlink: terminals and lower-rate, higher-performance deep-space and imaging hardware
What they're looking for
- Create CAD models and drawings with appropriate GD&T; release designs into: production and support the factory through ramp
- Define and execute development, qualification, and acceptance testing,: including environmental test (vibe, shock, TVAC)
- Lead root-cause investigations on mechanical, electro-mechanical, and: production issues and implement corrective actions
- Partner with optical, electrical, thermal, manufacturing, and supply chain: teams to deliver an integrated product
