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
Analyze manufacturing processes and electromechanical assemblies from a first: principles, physics-based approach with focus on electrical domain
Experience with taking products from concept and development into high-volume production
Work closely with engineers from adjacent disciplines (mechanical, thermal,: software, test engineering, supply chain, etc.) to deliver tightly integrated, high-performance hardware
Develop part qualification criteria, collaborate on functional and: reliability requirements, and drive system-level optimization for high-volume production
Lead Design of Experiments (DOE) to develop supplier production processes for: high-rate, high-yield, and reliable parts
Lead hardware failure investigations, defect characterization and analysis to: determine root causes to improve manufacturing yields
What they're looking for
- Direct the supplier process modifications while ultimately responsible for: approving first article inspection (FAI) reports, and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) reports
- Collaborate with design, materials, and manufacturing engineers to gain an: in-depth knowledge of electrical parts, assembly, metrology, and sub-system design intent
- Create and define supplier technical and quality requirements based on NPI: lifecycle, production phases, and program requirement
- Demonstrate a strong sense of ownership, proactivity, technical excellence,: creativity, self-direction, and courage
