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
Execute startup and shutdown procedures for production equipment
Build and test mechanical/electrical gateway components and perform wire harnessing work
Own mechanical/electrical subassemblies and integration of final vehicle assemblies
Read, interpret, and follow technical documents such as manufacturing work instructions
Run functional testing of built hardware including setup, instrumentation, test execution, and teardown
Perform test setups as needed to support developments across several test regimes - thermal, shock, vibration
What they're looking for
- Provide feedback on failure modes and support engineering to drive root cause of yield limiters
- Recommend improvements to manufacturing processes and work with engineers to: develop, implement, and refine processes with a specific focus on reducing cost and downtime and increasing yield
- Ensure production equipment is maintained and calibrated while keeping track calibration schedules
- Responsible for some preventative maintenance activities on test equipment and data acquisition systems
