SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP
Build Engineer, Structures (Starship)
SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States,
BUILD ENGINEER, STRUCTURES (STARSHIP)
As a build engineer, you will utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to develop novel engineered solutions for flight and manufacturing hardware. You will own the development of flight hardware and build processes (welding, large part movement, structures integration) for the most powerful rocket in history, Starship.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Work closely with vehicle analysts and design team to ensure solutions meet the requirements for vehicle design as well as the manufacturing processes
Develop production procedures/processes and manage the transition of parts and assemblies from development to high-rate production
Coordinate and execute development, qualification, and acceptance testing of systems and tooling needed to meet hardware deadlines
Execute design for manufacturability changes to enhance production efficiency
Create original CAD models and prints for flight and/or tooling components
Lead the on-site design engineering contact for the efficient build of parts and assemblies
Create and maintain build schedules
Resolve and analyze manufacturing discrepancies while interfacing with the quality team (resolving issues for design, fabrication, and assembly)
Participate in design reviews internally and with suppliers and customers
Partner with engineering & production teams to generate ideas, designs, and improvements for current and next-generation vehicles
Source, retain, and advise new and experienced vendors from a technical perspective
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
1+ years of engineering experience in manufacturing or production (internship and school projects experience qualify)
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Master’s degree in mechanical, manufacturing, aerospace, materials or industrial engineering
Involvement in a professional engineering society or collegiate design project
Experience with the build, assembly, or integration of large mechanical assemblies
Knowledge of metallic manufacturing techniques, processes, and equipment related to welding, metal forming, fastening, drilling, bonding and automation
Mechanical component and/or tooling design and analysis experience using 3D CAD software
Experience with design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA)
Experience transitioning complex products from R&D to high-volume manufacturing in a fast-paced environment
Experience writing work instructions and procedures for critical aerospace parts
Experience in a production environment within the aerospace industry
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Flight hardware typically is built in tight quarters, and physical dexterity is required
Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions in small openings, and climbing hand over hand
Typically exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments – heat, cold, rain
Work performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, and noise
Schedule varies depending on site operational needs; flexibility required
Flexibility to travel to remote build sites
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:Build Engineer/Level I: $95,000.00 - $115,000.00/per yearBuild Engineer/Level II: $110,000.00 - $130,000.00/per year
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year.
