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 the structural design and analysis of the tower and launch mount primary: and secondary steel structures, including members, bolted and welded connections, anchorage, and foundation interfaces, across static, dynamic, thermal, and fatigue load cases spanning fabrication, lift and erection, vehicle stacking, launch, and booster catch
Perform all calculations necessary for structural steel and reinforced: concrete design, and develop and issue drawings, design documentation, specifications, and reports
Develop load cases and structural design criteria in partnership with the: analysis, mechanisms, fluids, and vehicle teams; translate vehicle and operational requirements into structural requirements and verify the design against them
Lead the project team, consulting engineers, fabricators, and contractors: throughout the entirety of the structural engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning process
Write and manage fabrication and construction contracts with subcontractors: through contract close-out; own budget and schedule for your scope of work within a multi-disciplinary team
Develop and review erection, lifting, and rigging engineering for large steel: assemblies, including temporary works, lift plans, and structural stability during all stages of construction
What they're looking for
- Specify weld joint design, inspection, and non-destructive examination (NDE): requirements; partner with the welding and quality teams to resolve fabrication and assembly discrepancies and disposition nonconformances
- Manage the structural aspects of construction and integration in the field,: including quality control, fit-up and tolerance resolution, and coordination of a multi-discipline contractor team
- Provide direct onsite engineering inspections and field observations; resolve: design and construction conflicts in the field in real time
- Drive design for manufacturability and constructability changes that reduce: build time, cost, and risk for current and next-generation towers
