Engineer The Future
SpaceX is a U.S.-based advanced technology company founded by residing CEO and CTO, Elon Musk. Founded in 2002, 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. Our team is made up of more than 3,000 SpaceXers located across our Hawthorne, California headquarters; and other facilities in Florida, Texas, and Washington, DC.
Advance the course of human history and pave the ways to Mars
This is SpaceX. We are not like most companies. Our goal is to do what has never before been done--enabling mankind to live on other planets. We push the boundaries of what is currently possible, and understand it takes rare individuals to help us make this happen. We celebrate our successes, and each other. We seek future colleagues with a rare mix of drive, passion, scrappiness, intelligence, and curiosity to seek what’s beyond the stars.
Playing a direct role in advancing the course of human history is no small endeavor. Join us, and find your place in the SpaceX legacy.
Tooling Maintenance Engineer
In the past decade SpaceX has been hard at work designing one of the most advanced rocket and spacecraft platforms ever flown. We are now challenged with scaling our production rate to keep pace with our growing launch manifest that will soon reach a rate of 20 launches per year and potentially more. To accomplish this, SpaceX designs and builds custom tooling -- machines and structures that enable us to build our flight vehicles.
These tools vary in complexity - from a simple precision assembly fixture, to a highly complex and production rate, friction stir welding machine. SpaceX is progressively evolving how precision flight structures are built with a focus on automation and control-based technologies. As our flight vehicles increase in complexity and reliability, our tooling must also keep pace. The Tooling Maintenance Engineer will be leading the way towards helping push this evolution.
Overview:
The Tooling Maintenance Engineer will be involved in the induction of Tooling assets to the production shop floor and ensuring that the new and ageing equipment is able to run at increased reliability. Additionally, the new equipment will be aligned with SpaceX standards for spare parts, control automation software, and calibration, etc. An emphasis will be placed on addressing weaknesses in design with a constant eye towards efficiency, reliability and production. Revisional design on ageing tools and implementation of these improvements; and a maintenance-oriented feedback loop to engineering. Always strive to push the technical boundaries to deliver cutting-edge technology and build a world-class rocket factory.
Responsibilities:
- Drive the evolutionary development of custom automated manufacturing assets.
- Developing and applying SpaceX Asset Standards for custom tooling.
- Ensure overall Asset synergies across multiple manufacturing departments.
- Ensure custom built machines follow SpaceX standards of quality, functionality, reliability and production.
- Create and maintain feedback loop with Tooling Engineering, with a progressive mindset towards automation and quality.
- Identify critical spares and develop preventative maintenance procedures for all critical custom assets.
- Plan revisional changes to tooling and coordinate rework operations.
- Set up vendor support to cover processes and custom manufacturing for lean or absent resources.
- Based on existing maintenance asset history data (mean time to repair, mean time to failure, etc.) and working with Tooling Engineers, determine:
- (critical) spare parts
- Technical documentation
- Software programs
- Failure Modes
- Calibration requirements
- Preventative maintenance procedures
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree required.
- 1 year of experience in model-based design.
- 1 year of experience in a custom manufacturing environment.
- 2 years of experience planning mechanical and/or electrical engineering projects.
- 2 years of experience working with Microsoft applications.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Experience with MRP/ERP systems.
- Knowledge of Siemens NX/Team center or other PLM software systems is desired.
- Knowledge of custom machinery applications and methods of construction.
- Strong analytical and written skills.
- Strong computer and math skills.
Additional Requirements:
- Requires long hours and some nights and weekends.
- Ability to work under deadlines, in a high paced work environment.
- Ability to quickly learn and absorb technical content.
- Ability to take initiative when organizing, communicating and completing tasks to a very demanding timeline.
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.
