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
Perform analysis, development engineering, and flight operations tasks for Raptor engine propulsion systems.
Align resources to accomplish team’s objectives, practice clear ownership,: and set the performance bar at a high standard of excellence.
Enable high launch cadence with unparalleled reliability through automated: analysis of test and flight data; expand existing capabilities and develop new algorithms to improve reliability and thoroughness of all flight processes.
Collaborate with engineers and technicians from various disciplines (e.g.: Software, Ground Systems, Stage Propulsion, Integration and Test, Guidance and Control) to achieve successful and reliable engine performance in flight and during ground vehicle testing, and to continuously refine the designs and practices for increased product reliability and reduced costs.
Support live test and flight operations in role of a primary console: operator; analyze telemetry data to establish engine systems health and to troubleshoot anomalies.
Exercise risk-conscious decision-making skills under high pressure and across: multiple engineering systems; brief company leadership during live operations and anomaly investigations as required.
What they're looking for
- Support vehicle-level readiness and data reviews for the engine systems;: represent the engine system in the role of Responsible Engineer to the rest of the vehicle, ground, and customer disciplines.
- Implement and maintain rigorous hardware and software verification processes: through the practical application of automation and process controls.
- Fully own critical spaceflight operations (and possibly hardware) with profound responsibility
- Execute walkdowns, and support hardware troubleshooting in the field.
