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
Partner with design, test, and manufacturing through product development and: production to ensure the reliability of Avionics parts (i.e. controllers, RIOs, sensors, RF, power systems, solar arrays, wire harnessing, etc.)
Responsible for tracking yield, test/inspection escapes, and ensuring past: failures and lessons learned are incorporated into NPI
Develop, implement and validate Lean test and inspection processes for new: and existing products and process, ensuring that criteria are objective and that quality goals are consistently met
Monitor the success of products and processes through production ramp-up: using a suite of quality and analysis tools
Conduct regular build quality reviews to ensure that design intent is: achieved and well-communicated; identify opportunities for risk reduction and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability, collaborating with integrated product teams to drive improvements and address high-impact and repeating non-conformances
Investigate failures in production, test and flight, identifying and: mitigating the immediate and underlying root causes in order to quantify/reduce risk and improve reliability of designs and processes
What they're looking for
- Utilize schematics, test equipment, inspection processes, etc. to perform: structured electrical root cause analysis of failures identified during the development and production processes to inform design/manufacturing changes
- Perform gage repeatability and reproducibility studies to validate test systems used for product acceptance
- Contain suspect or known non-conforming product, providing guidance to: quality inspectors, technicians, shop supervisors and engineers to assist in quarantining and rework activities
- Support the shop floor in continuous improvement and the advancing of a Lean,: autonomous production system through creation of standard rework/repair guides, removal of redundant or unnecessary inspection, and improved control and optimization of critical processes
