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.

MANUFACTURING ENGINEER, SOLAR (STARLINK)

SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity, including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable. We are looking for talented, creative, and driven manufacturing engineers to drive manufacturing tools and processes, from initial concept development to full scale production, and will interact regularly with senior leadership during critical design phases. You will own the relationship between the engineering development and production teams. The success of Starlink depends on the quality, reliability, cost, manufacturability, throughput, security, and user experience of the products that you deliver.

Identify tooling and hardware requirements, design and implement into production processes

Identify automation opportunities and establish requirements as well as evaluating return on investment for each

Work with in-house resources or vendors as necessary to develop these solutions and implement on production line

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline

1+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment via professional work experience, project/research-based student experience, or a combination of both

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Demonstrated experience working in a highly adaptive and iterative environment

Proven excellence in a high volume commercial or automotive manufacturing environment

Experience transitioning products from design to manufacturing and scaling to high volume as part of a cross-functional team

Experience with DOE, gage R&R and process qualifications

Experience defining production data requirements and SPC

Ability to design tooling for high volume manufacturing

Demonstrated experience implementing automation into production processes

Experience integrating electromechanical or lamination assemblies with both manual and automated processes

Ability to develop and maintain high performing suppliers and contract manufacturers

Experience with NX and Teamcenter

Experience working with and defining requirements for ERP, MRP and MES systems

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range:

Manufacturing Engineer/Level I: $95,000.00 - $115,000.00/per year

Manufacturing Engineer/Level II: $110,000.00 - $130,000.00/per year

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
