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 subsystem and component owners to translate top-level: requirements into clear, measurable criteria at lower levels.
Audit design documentation regularly to identify gaps, risks, and: inconsistencies, and drive the closure of any findings.
Review test and analysis data to confirm criteria are met, initiating: follow-up actions where validation falls short.
Develop and refine department processes for design reviews (DCR, PDR, CDR) to: improve efficiency and clarity of outcomes.
Compile and deliver periodic design health reports to leadership,: highlighting critical issues and progress trends.
Facilitate resolution of cross-team conflicts by balancing technical, schedule, and program-wide priorities.
What they're looking for
- Champion design best practices by sharing lessons learned and aligning teams: on standards for producibility, reliability, and performance.
- Lead initiatives that integrate feedback from production, test, and flight operations into design updates.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, test, and analysis teams to ensure design readiness for production hardware.
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline.
