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 (Dragon Environmental Control & Life Support Systems)
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 integration of the Dragon Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) and its related Components.
- Create and maintain build schedules that list all discrete fabrication and assembly tasks. Ensure that all parts are fabricated, assembled, and/or purchased at the correct time to facilitate the build schedules.
- Resolve and analyze manufacturing discrepancies, while interfacing with the quality team (resolving issues for design, fabrication, and assembly).
- Run system level testing of the vehicle such as proof and leak, fluid flow, and functional checkouts.
- Develop production procedures/processes and manage the transition of parts and assemblies from low flow to high flow rate 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. Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, Manufacturing Engineering, and/or similar discipline.
- 2 years of experience applying the basic principles of compressible and incompressible flow, thermodynamics, thermochemistry, mechanics, materials, and electrical circuits to vehicle production(internship experience can supplement for the required industry experience).
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- M.S. Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, Manufacturing Engineering, and/or similar discipline.
- Experience with spacecraft and/or aircraft life support, oxygen, and environmental control systems.
- Process development, facility and line layouts, PFMEA, Error-Proofing, and/or Lean Manufacturing.
- Significant hands-on project involvement along with design and analysis experience.
- 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.
- 2 - 5 years’ experience in a manufacturing environment.
- Experience with Design for Manufacturability and Assembly.
- Experience with fluid schematics, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T), and Unigraphics (UGS)/Teamcenter CAD.
- Knowledge of metallic and/or fluid system manufacturing techniques, processes, equipment, and other processes such as: machining, electron beam welding, orbital tube welding, and tube bending.
Additional Requirements:
- Must be detail oriented, organized, and demonstrate a high sense of urgency.
- Must be open to working all required shift hours, including overtime, and weekends, 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.
