SpaceX • Bastrop, TX • 1d 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.

We are looking for talented, driven technicians to drive manufacturing output and yield across our production, maintenance, and facilities teams.

This is a hands-on technician role. We are building a strong team of technicians who are trained into the team where they will have the greatest impact and clearest path to grow. This includes PCB production, machine and facilities maintenance, silicon packaging, gateway, solar, and satellite operations. The ideal candidate is comfortable in a fast-paced, metrics-driven manufacturing environment, learns quickly, works safely, and is motivated by SpaceX's mission to provide high speed, low-latency connectivity across the globe.

Support root cause analysis (e.g. 5-Why) for quality and process issues and implement corrective actions to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)

Recommend improvements to manufacturing processes with a focus on reducing cost and downtime and increasing yield

Ensure 5S standards are upheld by maintaining a clean and organized work area

Conduct or support training of production personnel; cross-train and rotate across tasks, stations, or lines as production demand shifts

2+ years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, maintenance, facilities, skilled trades, automotive, military, or a technical/vocational school program

Familiarity with hand and power tools and basic precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, multimeters)

Basic mechanical and/or electrical fundamentals (fasteners, pneumatics/hydraulics; Ohm's law, multimeter use)

Proficiently use a computer and the Microsoft Office suite

Experience using production and inventory management software such as MES/ERP

Experience with root cause analysis and problem solving (e.g. 5-Why, Fishbone, 8D)

Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills to work closely with other technicians and cross-functional teams

Ability to identify and maintain priorities while working independently in a high-paced environment with minimal oversight
