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 and deliver advanced nondestructive evaluation inspection solutions
Design, prototype, and implement nondestructive sensor systems to solve manufacturing quality problems
