PRODUCTION ENGINEER (STARSHIP ELECTRONICS)

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.

The Starship Electronics team has taken the challenge to develop hardware for the Starship spacecraft and SuperHeavy this role you will support production of all electrical systems from communications to power navigation and even crewed life support. This will be one of the most sophisticated and largest vehicles flown in space where low cost and high production rates are required to enable the mission.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

  • Develop standardize and continuously improve process chains required to deliver Starship electronics components
  • Design and deliver new factory stations and production assets aimed at expanding capability reducing cycle time and improving yield
  • Design and deliver mechanical tooling required to build test and deliver avionics hardware. Tooling to include both custom mechanical tools (e.g. fixturing) as well as capital automation equipment
  • Develop design-for-manufacturing (DFM) guidelines and maintain a collaborative relationship with design engineering to co-design the product and factory
  • Act as an expert on low-cost high-reliability manufacturing techniques for aerospace electro-mechanical components
  • Guide high-level vehicle architecture and requirements trade studies to reduce vehicle cost and ease of production
  • Analyze root cause and provide corrective actions for process escapes or process variability including mechanical processes on the final assembly (e.g. fastener torque) and electrical processes on printed circuit boards (e.g. soldering)
