CNC Programmer, Development (Starlink)

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.

CNC PROGRAMMER, DEVELOPMENT (STARLINK)

SpaceX is developing a low-latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity, including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable. The Starlink R&D team is responsible for the fabrication and assembly of prototype development, production tooling, and automation equipment for the rapidly growing Starlink consumer electronics business. Technicians work closely with the engineering team to execute high-impact projects that expand and improve the Starlink product assembly lines from early-stage development to the highest volume production capable systems at SpaceX.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Drive CNC mill programming and operations to optimize efficiency and productivity

• Spearhead the expansion of CNC capabilities to expedite product development cycles

• Fabricate electromechanical production and test systems using a wide array of tools, machines, and equipment and collaborate with engineering to deliver solutions

• Work creatively to fabricate components using a wide range of equipment such as mills, lathes, welding, brakes, presses, and CNC processes

• Assemble complex integrated assemblies that may include mechanical precision assembly, high and low voltage wiring, and pneumatics

• Interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and build instructions to complete assembly and fabrication
