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
Own hardware from selection to scale for Starlink consumer, gateway,: satellite, or datacenter products. Technology choice, supplier choice, process choice, equipment, yield, cost, schedule, and field performance sit with you.
Select suppliers who can build at the quality and rate the program needs, and: develop them until the process is capable. Change the supplier when the technical path is not there.
Choose the manufacturing process and the equipment. Define the process: window, the control plan, and the evidence of capability before rate, not after the line is already late.
Bring up new designs, new factories, and new processes. Be on the floor,: debug the tool, and close the yield and rate gap yourself.
Do the reliability and quality work the hardware needs: failure analysis, test and screen strategy, process FMEA, corrective action, and a field-to-factory loop that changes the product.
Carry the technical decision with design, test, supply chain, and the: supplier. Make the call and live with the field result.
What they're looking for
- Scale what is proven. Stop what will not scale.
- Own escapes into customer deployments, gateway sites, orbit, and datacenter operation.
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline.
- + years of hands-on experience in supplier development, manufacturing or: process engineering, equipment engineering, quality engineering, or reliability engineering for hardware.
