SpaceX • Hawthorne, CA • 1h ago

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.

MECHANICAL INTEGRATION & TEST ENGINEER, USER PRODUCTS (STARSHIELD)

Integration and Test Engineers are responsible for generating and understanding manufacturing and test procedures for Starshield user products including user terminals, ground stations, gateways and more . Engineers on this team must have a working knowledge of design, schematics, operations, manufacturing, and testing. A successful Integration and Test Engineer demonstrates engineering intuition and critical thinking and is comfortable working under ambiguous requirements with minimal oversight. Combining these skills, these engineers face challenges across a wide variety of work centers at the company, and the team is frequently asked to tackle new, inter-departmental development projects. The ultimate goal of the Integration and Test team is to ensure that our satellites and customers achieve their mission.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Manage integration build flow and test operations

Evaluate proposed designs for manufacturability and integration

Interface with both engineers and technicians to optimize manufacturing and automation

Develop and refine manufacturing assembly procedures based on lessons learned

Enable day-to-day execution of the vehicle integration and test flow

Evaluate non-conformances to determine root cause and create actionable items and system improvements

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline

1+ years of design and/or hands-on manufacturing experience (internships, collegiate engineering projects such as Formula SAE, Baja SAE, etc., or professional industry experience will be considered)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Ability and willingness to obtain a Top Secret clearance

Master's degree in an engineering discipline

Experience with MATLAB, Python, or other programming language

Experience with integration and testing of propulsion, thermal, electrical and/or structural systems

Experience integrating avionics systems

Documentation and configuration management experience

Experience writing test plans, procedures, and providing go/no-go judgment and rationale

Experience in a production environment

Demonstrated engineering intuition, critical thinking, and comfort with ambiguity

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Some travel to other SpaceX sites may be required as needed, up to 10%

Must be willing to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed to meet mission-critical deadlines

This position is very hands-on and requires one to be on their feet for extended periods of time, up to 4 hours at a time

Will often work side by side with our technicians and must be able to climb ladders, stoop, bend, crawl, and work in tight spaces

An active clearance may provide the opportunity for you to work on sensitive SpaceX missions; if so, you will be subject to pre-employment drug and random drug and alcohol testing

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:?????????????

Pay range:

Integration & Test Engineer/Level I: $100,000.00 - $115,000.00/per year

Integration & Test Engineer/Level II: $110,000.00 - $135,000.00/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. Those with an active clearance will receive a 10% differential, up to an additional $20,000 annually, once officially briefed into a classified program.

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 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.
