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, structural, and integration design of high-density AI compute: racks and associated chassis, frames, busbars, manifolds, and cable/fiber raceways
Integrate compute, networking, power distribution, and liquid cooling into a: buildable, serviceable, high-yield rack architecture
Design for the in-house manufacturing line: DFM/DFA, fixtures, work instructions, incoming inspection, first article, and production ramp
Close thermal, structural, and power constraints with cooling, electrical,: optical, and network counterparts at the cluster level (CDUs, cold plates, quick disconnects, PDUs/busbars, high-current distribution, tray and bend-radius limits)
Drive vendor and in-house parts from concept to qualified production,: including sheet metal, extrusions, busbar, manifolds, cable management, and rack accessories
Stand on the floor during prototype and production builds: debug fit, leak, cable dress, airflow/liquid balance, and service time; fold issues into the next revision the same day
What they're looking for
- Produce and maintain CAD, BOMs, drawings, and build documentation that a line can run at volume
- Support cluster deployment of the racks you design, including first-site: bring-up and feedback into the next hardware generation
- Partner with network, optical, electrical, and firmware teams to deploy: custom compute for inference and training across SpaceX programs
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or another engineering discipline
