Manufacturing Engineer, Optical Fiber (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.

MANUFACTURING ENGINEER, OPTICAL FIBER (STARLINK)

At SpaceX we are deploying Starlink, the world's most advanced satellite constellation, to provide broadband internet access to the world. We design, build, and operate all parts of the system – from the hardware in customers' homes to the satellites on orbit. Our engineers are endlessly curious, love to learn and try out new things, and work collaboratively across disciplines in a dynamic environment with changing needs as we strive to deliver high-impact technology on a global scale.

As a Manufacturing Engineer for Optical Fiber, you will develop manufacturing and test processes for optical fiber assemblies. You will work closely with design teams, integration and test teams, and suppliers to bring products from NPI to high-volume manufacturing. Additionally, you will be responsible for developing manufacturing and test procedures with the intent of improving optical fiber reliability.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Manage new product introduction and develop production processes for optical fiber assemblies

• Design and implement development and production test procedures for optical fiber assemblies to improve reliability

• Work with manufacturers and suppliers to implement process improvements to improve optical fiber reliability

• Drive corrective actions and process improvements on owned processes and products

• Lead investigation on non-conforming hardware to determine root cause and implement reliability improvements

• Collaborate with design teams and provide design feedback to improve manufacturab
