The role
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.
HARDWARE TEST ENGINEER (STARLINK)
At SpaceX we’re leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the globe.
SpaceX is looking for a Hardware Test Engineer to design, build, and automate test systems to support the development and qualification of the battery and power systems. This role encompasses design, analysis, and manufacturing disciplines, with the ability to spearhead large-scope projects from early design trades through implementation. You will be expected to define new processes, drive system requirements, manage large-scope projects across multiple disciplines, and activate systems that meet or exceed the aesthetics of the factory of the future.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Develop, document, and implement cross-functional automation solutions to improve test capability, coverage, and safety
• Design and implement test and ground support equipment to include flight hardware interfacing fixtures, battery management systems, automated test equipment, and facilities
