Mechanical Engineer, PCB Maintenance (Starlink)

SpaceX • Bastrop, TX • 6d 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.

MAINTENANCE ENGINEER, PCB (STARLINK)

At SpaceX we're leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world's most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 10M+ users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system - thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for communities and businesses around the world.

The primary role of the Maintenance Engineer is to identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect factory or business operations. As production develops and increases rate, the Maintenance Engineer's primary goal is to achieve maximum asset and system up-time by implementing and executing plans to minimize production losses, unpredictable asset behavior, and unusually high costs for system maintainability. In addition, the Maintenance Engineer acts as the accountable engineering resource in driving the design, build, and installation stages of new and modified assets as well as provides technical support to maintenance management, technicians, and production personnel to prevent and mitigate operational issues of critical equipment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Work with project engineering to ensure the reliability and sustainability of new and modified installations

Define, design, develop, monitor, and refine an asset maintenance plan that includes value-added preventive maintenance tasks, minimization of high-cost low-value repairs, effective utilization of predictive, and other non-destructive testing methodologies

Prepare asset documentation package for review of system mechanical design, controls, and software

Develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and equipment-specific problems that adversely affect plant operations including capacity, quality, cost, or regulatory compliance issues

Work with production to perform analyses of assets including asset utilization rate, overall equipment effectiveness, remaining useful life, operational restrictions, and other parameters that define the operating condition, reliability, and costs of assets

Provide technical support to production, maintenance management, and technical personnel

Manage production requests for asset improvement, control functions, and data collection

Apply value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, aerospace, systems, or manufacturing engineering

1+ years of experience in an engineering role in manufacturing, integration, reliability, technical program management, and/or operations

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Advanced degrees in engineering with reliability analysis experience through research and/or internships
