Build Engineer (Starship Mechanisms)

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 MECHANISMS)

The Starship Mechanisms Engineering teams work with design and drive tooling and automation, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and integration of the most powerful rocket ever built. Innovation, high production rate, and build precision are core principles in our endeavor to place humans on the surface of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. You can make it possible by partnering with designers and production teams to develop structures, tools, mechanisms, aerodynamic control surfaces, and thermal protection systems that can be manufactured at unprecedented rates and low cost. Apply your creative thinking and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced development environment, eliminating critical production bottlenecks and accelerating the Starship program by being integral to one of the most challenging and exciting engineering projects in history.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop production procedures/processes and manage the transition of parts and assemblies from development to production.

• Review CAD models to ensure designs are optimized and efficient.

• Design the factory and process to deliver state-of-the-art hardware for Starship and Super Heavy.

• Integrate subsystems into full vehicle assemblies.

• Design tools for manufacturing.

• Own high-level project management.

• Develop and execute test procedures.

• Question assembly/test requirements, delete parts and manufacturing processes, simplify/optimize production flow, accelerate production, and cut-in targeted automation.

• Implement line
