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
Develop design concepts and help size infrastructure systems based on: operational loads, site conditions, and how the facility will actually run
Collaborate with peers across disciplines to develop designs that balance: cost, schedule, reliability, and capability
Create detailed designs and generate CAD models and prints for components,: assemblies, and integration into the larger site
Build analysis models to assess designs and confirm they meet the needs of the system
Apply first-order hand calculations and empirical formulas to assess and iterate on designs rapidly
Support validation through development hardware, mockups, or first articles,: and testing of critical joints, components, and design elements
What they're looking for
- Support testing and commissioning of subsystems and full installations
- Partner with construction, build engineers, and technicians to improve: designs and resolve issues found during build and installation
- Support installation of hardware in the field, witness designs being built: and brought online, and see them go into service
- Participate in design reviews and help move designs from development into installed hardware
