Equipment Reliability Engineer (Starship)

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.

EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARSHIP)

As Starship production continues to push new bounds in order to satisfy the growing demands of the space industry, the complex and ever-evolving critical equipment required to build, integrate, and test our products must work harder than ever. Equipment Reliability Engineers hold the keys to the production machine; they not only help identify some of the most risk-heavy SpaceX production assets, but they technically diagnose, advise, implement, and execute a strategic path forward at the equipment-level to promote system reliability, minimize losses, and maximize critical asset efficiencies.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own equipment improvement plans for maintenance strategies and equipment availability to maximize production equipment availability

• Define, develop, and refine equipment reliability programs that include:

• Preventive maintenance tasks performed by machine operators and experienced maintenance technicians

• Comprehensive BOM development and selection of critical spare parts

• Integration of existing equipment into SpaceX Internet of Things (IoT) to enable real time performance monitoring

• Design and integration of new sensors onto machines to set predictive and condition-based monitoring triggers

• Iterative design improvements

• Develop engineering solutions to repetitive or high consequence failures on critical equipment through Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

• Conduct Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to create proactive reliability programs for critic
