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
Develop and run thermal and mechanical finite element models, and thermal: simulations, to predict package and board-level behavior under operational and environmental conditions
Develop process models to support new production line bring-up and investigations into packaging processes
Design, set up, and execute thermal and mechanical test campaigns
Perform board-level thermal characterization and testing to evaluate heat: spreading, junction temperatures, and system-level thermal performance
Operate and maintain thermal and mechanical test equipment, such as thermal: chambers, along with instrumentation, including thermocouples and infrared cameras
Analyze test data, correlate models with empirical results, and provide: actionable feedback to packaging, silicon design, and manufacturing teams
What they're looking for
- Support new package and board designs through test planning, execution, and data reporting
- Collaborate cross-functionally with packaging process engineers, hardware: design teams, production operations, and quality to integrate test insights into product development and production ramp
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering, math, or science discipline
- + years of experience with thermal or mechanical modeling and testing in an industry or academic setting
