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. ELECTRICAL HARDWARE RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARLINK AVIATION) Starlink is SpaceX's ambitious goal to bring high quality internet to the globe by building a constellation of thousands of satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) using our Falcon 9 reusable rockets. We are developing millions of devices for end users to link our customers to our satellites. As a Build Reliability Engineer on the Starlink Aviation team, you will be responsible for ensuring reliability and quality of the product through design, manufacturing, test, and end-use. You have the ability to dive deep into the details to identify, understand and solve difficult technical problems. You thrive in a hands-on environment and will spend time in the office, on the factory floor, and in the lab to connect the unconnected. You do not need to meet 100% of the preferred qualifications to be considered. We encourage anyone who meets the basic qualifications and is interested in the role to apply - we are looking for enthusiastic, dedicated people to join our team, and want the opportunity to talk to you! RESPONSIBILITIES: Responsible partner with design engineering and manufacturing teams through product development and production to create quality plans for flight hardware, including identification of key characteristics, prototype testing for functionality and manufacturability, first article and detailed inspection planning, and consideration of past failures and lessons learned Develop, implement and validate Lean test and inspection processes for new and existing products and process, ensuring that criteria are objective and that quality goals are consistently met Monitor the success of products and processes through production ramp-up using a suite of quality and analysis tools Conduct regular build quality reviews to ensure that design intent is achieved and well-communicated; identify opportunities for risk reduction and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability, collaborating with integrated product teams to drive improvements and address high-impact and repeating non-conformances Execute projects to improve yield, processes, test coverage, quality, and reliability, partnering with design, software, test, manufacturing engineering, and production teams Investigate failures in production to identify and mitigate the immediate and underlying root causes in order to reduce risk and improve reliability of designs and processes Perform hands-on debugging and root cause analysis of structural and electrical systems on the Starlink Aviation system (phased-array, Wi-Fi, harnessing, and power supply PCBAs) Drive resulting corrective actions to prevent factory escapes of defective hardware Contain suspect or known non-conforming product, providing guidance to quality inspectors, technicians, shop supervisors and engineers to assist in quarantining and rework activities Support the shop floor in continuous improvement and the advancing of a Lean, autonomous production system through creation of standard rework/repair guides, removal of redundant or unnecessary inspection, and improved control and optimization of critical processes BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline 1+ years experience in a manufacturing, quality and/or design engineering role (student project team or internship experience qualifies) PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Strong interpersonal and collaborative skills, enthusiasm for the team's spirit of innovation and mission of improving reliability in cutting-edge technology Programming experience in Python, C or
