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 wafer-level probing and testing using DC/RF probe stations,: parametric analyzers, and vector network analyzers (VNAs) to measure I-V characteristics, capacitance, RF insertion loss, and return loss on individual dies
Set up and operate RF package test stations, including test sockets,: handlers, and vector network analyzers (VNAs), to execute parametric, functional, and high-frequency tests such as S-parameter sweeps, gain measurements, and noise figure evaluations
Load and unload packaged devices into automated test equipment (ATE),: following recipes to run sort tests, binning, and data collection for yield tracking and performance grading
Perform basic inspections of test results using software interfaces to: identify outliers or failures, generating simple defect reports and flagging issues for engineering review
Conduct routine equipment maintenance, such as calibrating RF cables,: cleaning fixtures, and verifying probe contacts, to ensure accurate measurements and minimal downtime
Log test data, including throughput metrics and SPC charts, using software to: support production reporting and defect trend analysis
What they're looking for
- Collaborate cross-functionally to achieve daily test volumes, and assist in: simple setup changes or fixture preparations
- Adhere to cleanroom protocols, ESD safeguards, and safety standards during handling of sensitive RF components
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate
- + years of professional experience in a hands-on manufacturing environment OR: bachelor's degree in an engineering, math or science discipline
