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
A dynamic role contributing technical expertise in the design, analysis, and: fabrication of large composite steel and concrete structures
Work with vehicle and test engineers to develop test structures from: conception. Your designs won’t be isolated – they often interact directly with the rocket structure – so careful consideration of boundary conditions, load paths, and stiffness will be necessary
Be responsible for fabrication planning and on-site fabrication support of your structures
Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
+ years of experience in the engineering of composite steel and concrete: structural systems used in large buildings, bridges, nuclear containment, test systems, or other large-scale applications
An advanced degree in aerospace, civil/structural, mechanical engineering, or related field
What they're looking for
- Experience with nonlinear structural analysis for steel and concrete structural systems
- Licensed Structural Engineering (SE) or Professional Engineering (PE)
- Knowledge of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Steel: Construction Manual, American Concrete Institute (ACI) code 318, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7, and International Building Codes (IBC)
- Knowledge of ETABS, SAP2000, S-Concrete, ANSYS, FEMAP, or similar analysis design programs
