CNC Programmer (Starship Components) - Level 4/5 (2nd Shift)

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 (STARSHIP COMPONENTS) – LEVEL 4/5 (2nd Shift)

As a CNC Programmer at SpaceX, you will have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to develop novel solutions at the cutting edge of space technology. You will work on hardware that will deliver satellites into Earth orbit, ferry humans to and from the International Space Station, and ultimately extend humanity’s reach beyond the Earth and Moon. You will provide input into the design and development of new and existing hardware and take a lead role in creating robust machining processes to create parts for our current and next generation vehicles.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Use CAM to program and generate G-Code for Okuma mill-turn lathes and mills, with a focus on optimizing complex, multi-axis programs

• Create and refine tooling and process setup sheets for new part introductions, incorporating lessons learned from prior iterations

• Set-up, prove out, and operate programs on Okuma mill-turn lathes and mills, troubleshooting issues independently to minimize downtime

• Contribute to the development and utilization of a CAM database for efficient new part programming, including data analysis to improve repeatability

• Review quality concerns from piece part inspection, lead root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions to processes

• Analyze piece parts for DFM to ensure optimization for manufacturing; collaborate closely with engineering to recommend and implement drawing changes

• Integrate feedback from engineering and production to rapi
