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 (STARSHIP)

As a Starship engineer, you drive design to fit into specialized, high-rate factory stations; set up tool, material, and labor flow paths; and integrate propulsion, avionics, and structural components with novel techniques, constantly challenging requirements to delete parts or make them faster and more reliable to build. You will drive clean sheet change on V3 Starship and take on the massive challenge of designing the advanced rate production line for the V3, which will produce many variants of Starship, such as tankers, fuel depots, and the HLS (Human Landing System) for the Artemis program.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Get hands-on alongside technicians, specialists, and welders to integrate propulsion, avionics, and structural components and build the most massive and powerful second-stage launch vehicle

Execute design, build, qualification, and acceptance testing of subassemblies, systems, and tooling needed to meet hardware deadlines

Design the new Starship production line to accelerate the build and integration of systems and subassemblies, and work in tandem with Starship design teams to maximize efficiency and minimize cost/ton to orbit

Develop a deep understanding of vehicle structures, avionics, propulsion architecture, and how the vehicle operates as an integrated system

Troubleshoot hardware issues in real-time and push feedback to correct owners to eliminate repeat issues

Interface with design, build, and systems engineering teams, as well as production leadership and technicians, to ensure delivery of test-ready hardware on time

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline

1+ years of hands-on engineering experience (internship and school project experience qualify)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Experience and passion for creating, tinkering, taking things apart, and building them again

Proven experience building things that many would consider objectively too challenging to accomplish

Ability to communicate mission-critical messaging effectively, explain complex topics succinctly, and ask questions to verify or defend technical rationale

Demonstrated experience driving and delivering significant outcomes

Proven application of passion and curiosity to learn, build, and complete impactful projects.

Experience transitioning products from design to manufacturing and optimizing for high-volume

Proven experience building metallic structures, ideally stainless steel

Ability to make informed executive decisions

Experience leading or working on an engineering competition team, e.g. Formula SAE, Baja SAE, RoboSub, Combat Robotics, Rocketry, or similar

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Flight hardware typically is built in tight quarters, and physical dexterity is required

Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions in small openings, and climbing hand over hand

Work performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, and noise

Schedule varies depending on site operational needs; flexibility required

ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
