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. BUILD ENGINEER (STARSHIP) As a build engineer on the Starship team, you will be responsible for developing and qualifying processes for high-rate, mixed-product manufacturing of propulsion, avionics, and welded structural assemblies.

Focus will be on design for manufacturing, implementing poka-yoke systems, increasing product yield, and automation as required to minimize takt and cycle times.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Develop and perform acceptance testing of manufacturing processes, techniques, and tools to enable efficient and high-rate manufacturing Design and implement precision tooling to eliminate assembly error, improve quality, and minimize cycle time Automate novel processes to ensure repeatability on high-rate manufacturing lines Work closely with design engineering teams to influence flight design and vehicle architecture with design for manufacturing improvements Develop and/or automate in-situ inspection techniques to increase yield and decrease cycle time Manage transition of parts and assemblies from development to high-rate production Challenge and simplify

Requirements

to optimize processes and reduce overhead BASIC

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 Typically exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments – heat, cold, rain Work performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, and noise Schedule varies depending on site operational needs; flexibility required Flexibility to travel to remote build sites, up to 10% Stand: Up to 6 hours per day Sit: Up to 6 hours per day Push/Pull: Up to 50lbs. (unassisted) 30 minutes to 1 hour per day Overhead reach: Up to 1 hour per day Walk: Up to 1 hour per day Lift/Carry: Up to 25lbs.

of the job listed in the job description Candidate may be required to complete a pre-employment questionnaire and/or physical to confirm these capabilities, which may include a medical history review ITAR
