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 seek 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.
We are actively seeking the brightest minds from all industries and technologies to continue building our world class team. Please visit spacex.com for additional information.
Manufacturing Engineer (Crew Dragon Propulsion Components)
As a Production/Manufacturing Engineer at SpaceX you will have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to develop novel solutions at the cutting edge of space technology. You will work on launch vehicles and spacecraft that will deliver satellites into earth orbit, ferry humans to and from the international space station, and ultimately extend humanity’s reach beyond the earth and moon. You will own the relationship between our development and production teams. You will provide input into the design and development of new and existing hardware and take a lead role in manufacturing and integration on our current and next generation vehicles.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the production, assembly, and testing of propulsion fluid system components for the Crew Dragon vehicle under the CCiCap program.
- Create and maintain build schedules that list all discrete fabrication, assembly, and test tasks. Ensure that all components are fabricated, assembled, and/or purchased to facilitate the build schedules.
- Resolve and analyze manufacturing and test discrepancies, while interfacing with the quality team (resolving issues for design, fabrication, and assembly).
- Support component level testing such as proof and leak, fluid flow, and functional checkouts.
- Develop production procedures/processes and manage the transition of components and assemblies from development to production.
- Lead process improvement projects to continuously enhance production operations on the shop floor.
- Work closely with development and design engineers, internal machine shops, and external vendors to make parts that are designed for manufacturability.
Basic Qualifications:
- B.S. or M.S. Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, Manufacturing Engineering, and/or similar discipline.
- 2 years of experience working with fluid system components and instruments such as valves, regulators, burst disks, pressure transducers, and resistance temperature devices.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Experience with spacecraft and/or aircraft propulsion systems.
- Hands-on experience with fluid and/or gas handling systems.
- Technically well-rounded and displays a proficiency in the basic principles of compressible and incompressible flow, thermodynamics, thermochemistry, mechanics, materials, and electrical circuits.
- Experience with instrumentation and data acquisition, including familiarity with LabVIEW software.
- Must be highly self-motivated and organized with strong written and oral communication skills.
- Must be able to work well in an integrated team including daily interactions with technicians, engineers, and managers.
- Process development, facility and line layouts, PFMEA, Error-Proofing, and/or Lean Manufacturing.
- 2 - 5 years’ experience in a manufacturing environment and with taking products from development into production.
- Experience with Design for Manufacturability and Assembly.
Additional Requirements:
- Must be able to work all required hours and shifts, and overtime, as needed.
ITAR Requirements:
- To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
