Tooling Inspector (Starship) - Level 4/5

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.

TOOLING INSPECTOR (STARSHIP) - LEVEL 4/5

Our quality inspectors are responsible for being the last line of defense in assuring mission success. You will perform in-process and end-of-line inspections to verify that all key performance and design characteristics are met or exceeded during hardware manufacturing. You will be working hands on with the most cutting-edge rocket technology currently available and will be part of history. This position will support the Tooling Quality Inspection team at the SpaceX Hawthorne facility, which is responsible for the most critical components of our Starship program.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Use in-depth familiarity of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to interpret blueprints at all assembly levels
