Space Exploration Technologies
Work to advance the course of human history and pave the way to Mars.
SpaceX is a US based advanced technology company founded by residing CEO and CTO, Elon Musk. SpaceX builds rockets and spacecraft from the ground up including cutting edge electronics, software, vehicle structures, and engine systems. The Falcon Launch Vehicle and Dragon Spacecraft programs are some of the most ambitious engineering systems in the world, designed to support our ultimate goals of aviation-like spaceflight capability and making humanity a multi-planet species.
"SpaceX is like Special Forces… we do the missions that others think are impossible. We have goals that are absurdly ambitious, but we're going to make them happen. We have the potential here at SpaceX to have an incredible effect on the future of humanity and life itself."
– Elon Musk
If you’re undaunted by the impossible, actively seeking out insanely challenging projects under tight schedules, and want to work with a remarkable organization pushing the envelope of human exploration, then you will want to be part of the SpaceX legacy.

Mission Assurance Engineer (Chief Engineer Support)
Responsibilities
The launch chief engineer’s primary responsibility is to review and certify the vehicle’s flight readiness. As a Mission Assurance Engineer, you will provide key technical support towards this objective as follows:
- Interact with the engineering, production, mission management teams from the planning stage all the way to launch for the purpose of reviewing the vehicle configuration and status.
- Assist the Launch Chief Engineer in monitoring and assessing Test or Production anomalies for flight risk and work with engineering to resolve issues leading up to launch. Review acceptance and qualification process and status of systems. Review and analyze critical component and system tests
- Assess changes to the vehicle configuration and design modifications for cross-system impacts.
- Support the Launch Chief Engineer on Flight Readiness activities including organizing data reviews, readiness reviews before major launch vehicle operations
- Support launch operations- coordinate anomaly resolution when there is a need
- Perform post-test and flight data analysis and review and system assessment. Author and edit post-flight reports. Support or lead test or in-flight anomaly investigations
- Acquire knowledge and master various SpaceX vehicle systems (hardware and analysis) to help perform these functions
Basic Qualifications
