Test Specialist (Composites)

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.

TEST SPECIALIST (COMPOSITES)

Join the Composites Test group as a Test Specialist to develop and operate SpaceX’s most critical processes: its tests! Composites Test is a fast paced and development focused group that aims to reduce production time and increase safety and reliability by designing efficient and effective equipment and processes to support new structures, components and mechanisms.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Support development of test stand, equipment, and process concepts with a strong emphasis on practical execution and operability.

• Contribute to and maintain fabrication drawings, wiring schematics, and instrumentation lists.

• Assist with design and analysis of structures, fluid systems, and mechanisms, focusing on real-world integration, operability, and test readiness.

• Develop a deep understanding of fundamental systems so you can effectively troubleshoot and improve them during both day-to-day operations and development work.

• Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of design, build, and reliability engineers to ensure new designs are streamlined for efficient manufacturing, assembly, and test execution.

• Supervise and actively participate in the integration of test stands and equipment, including fabrication, mechanical assembly, and data/control systems.

• Operate test stands with exceptional attention to detail, insight, and adherence to process.

• Develop, refine, and execute manufacturing processes and detailed technical instructions to ensure hardware meets the highest processing standards. <l
