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.

EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARSHIP)

As Starship production continues to push new bounds in order to satisfy the growing demands of the space industry, the complex and ever-evolving critical equipment required to build, integrate, and test our products must work harder than ever. Equipment Reliability Engineers hold the keys to the production machine; they not only help identify some of the most risk-heavy SpaceX production assets, but they technically diagnose, advise, implement, and execute a strategic path forward at the equipment-level to promote system reliability, minimize losses, and maximize critical asset efficiencies.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own equipment improvement plans for maintenance strategies and equipment availability to maximize production equipment availability

Define, develop, and refine equipment reliability programs that include:

Preventive maintenance tasks performed by machine operators and experienced maintenance technicians

Comprehensive BOM development and selection of critical spare parts

Integration of existing equipment into SpaceX Internet of Things (IoT) to enable real time performance monitoring

Design and integration of new sensors onto machines to set predictive and condition-based monitoring triggers

Iterative design improvements

Develop engineering solutions to repetitive or high consequence failures on critical equipment through Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

Conduct Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to create proactive reliability programs for critical equipment

Coordinate cross-functionally to drive process improvements, design iterations and complete equipment overhauls

Integrate with internal tooling, automation and production teams to ensure maintainability of design is incorporated into new internally designed equipment

Develop and implement maintenance and reliability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to drive equipment improvements and organizational efficiency

Support onboarding and commissioning of newly purchased or fabricated equipment; release reliability programs prior to equipment entering production

Provide technical support to production, maintenance management and technical personnel

Manage production requests for asset improvements and data collection

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline

1+ years of experience in manufacturing, reliability, or operations

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

5+ years of experience in a maintenance engineering role and reliability in a high-volume manufacturing, testing or operational environment

Hands-on experience with equipment control systems, machinery, tooling and industrial automation

Developed understanding of mechanical, fluid, and electrical component functions

Experience using Microsoft SQL and PowerBI

Ability to read and understand equipment schematics, P&ID, GD&T and OEM manuals

Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing and test equipment; CNC, SMT, 3D printing, robotics, tooling, furnaces, chillers, etc.

Experience working with CMMS programs such as Maximo, SAP, Infor

Basic understanding of maintenance and reliability KPIs; OEE, MTBF, MTTR

Critical thinking and problem-solving skills

Detail oriented, organized, and able to demonstrate a high sense of urgency

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Physical effort including standing, lifting, and carrying equipment up to 30 lbs. unassisted

Ability to work in outdoor environments as needed

Must be available to work extended hours and some weekends

Willing to travel for short trips as needed, up to 10% travel
