Production Technician, Solar Cells (Starlink) - Day 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.

PRODUCTION TECHNICIAN, SOLAR CELLS (STARLINK) - DAY SHIFT

At SpaceX, we are building the next generation of space infrastructure to enable large-scale AI data centers in orbit. These orbital AI platforms require massive amounts of reliable, high-efficiency solar power to support intensive computing workloads in space. To make this possible, we are standing up one of the largest solar cell manufacturing facilities in the world. We are seeking a Production Technician to execute skilled operations on solar cell production equipment, perform process monitoring, basic troubleshooting, and support quality control activities at various stages of cell manufacturing.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Execute skilled operations and process monitoring on key equipment including texturing lines, PECVD, PVD, metallization printers, and testing systems

• Monitor process parameters, identify deviations, and perform basic troubleshooting to maintain yield and throughput

• Perform in-process inspections, data logging, and quality control checks including PL, AOI, and IV testing support

• Support root cause analysis for process issues and implement corrective actions in collaboration with engineering

• Load/unload AGV carriers, change consumables (pastes, targets, gases), and assist with equipment setup and changeovers

• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and cleanroom standards while handling hazardous chemicals and process gases

• Train production associates and contribute to continuous improvement of manufacturing processes

• Track production metrics and maintai
