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
Avionics: robust electronics for sensors, power, networking, and data: acquisition that fly on the world’s most powerful rocket
Automation & Controls: automated solutions for Starship manufacturing, vehicle handling, and launch pad systems
Power Infrastructure: power generation, transmission, and distribution systems for launch and production
Design, build, operate, and maintain electrical systems
Develop analog and digital circuits from first principles for extreme: environments; design switching power converters, signal conditioning, filters, and high-integrity layouts; support hardware through production, integration, and flight while collaborating across teams (EEE, EMI, radiation, propulsion, structures, GNC, etc.)
Rapidly develop high-reliability avionics components (sensors, power systems,: network interfaces, propulsion interfaces, data acquisition); drive system trades, requirements, component selection, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, analysis, testing (acceptance/qualification), documentation, manufacturing support, and flight support
