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
Use reliability physics of failure models and reliability statistics to: assess risk levels to the mission as well as to develop and implement accelerated tests to mitigate risks and qualify designs
Lead reliability test planning, methodology and execution
Help Drive Avionics EEE piece part reliability issues and risk towards closure
Drive analysis processes for all failures discovered during reliability testing
Build reliability prediction models/Finite Element Models to evaluate product: functional performance over mission life conditions
Interface with SpaceX departments such as supply chain, design engineers, and production/manufacturing
What they're looking for
- Evaluate failure analysis and coordinate destructive physical analysis: investigations to provide corrective actions and paths to closure
- Analyze and model implementation options to inform electronics design for: reliability, including Material selections; PCB laminates, features (vias, pad, stack up, etc.) specifications, finishes, Component attach; Solder chemistry, reflow profile Underfill selections
- Advise on HALT/HASS testing and reliability assessments for PCBA testing
- Execute testing campaigns to assess reliability of hardware and components
