Job Title: Build Reliability Engineer

SpaceX is a pioneering company that aims to make humanity a multi-planetary species. We are seeking a highly skilled Build Reliability Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies.

Job Summary:

The Build Reliability Engineer will be responsible for ensuring the reliability of flight components and production assemblies. This role will involve collaborating with design engineering and manufacturing teams to create quality plans, developing and implementing Lean test and inspection processes, and monitoring the success of products and processes through production ramp-up.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Partner with design engineering and manufacturing teams to create quality plans for flight hardware, including identification of key characteristics, prototype testing, and inspection planning.
  • Develop and implement Lean test and inspection processes for new and existing products and processes, ensuring that criteria are objective and 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, and identify opportunities for risk reduction and removal of complexity in designs and processes.
  • Investigate failures in production, test, and flight, identifying and mitigating the immediate and underlying root causes to reduce risk and improve reliability of designs and processes.
  • 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.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials engineering, manufacturing engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, or another STEM-related field.
  • 1+ years 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.
  • Master's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials engineering, or electrical engineering.
  • Demonstrated application of process controls in high-volume manufacturing, test, and quality environments.
  • Dedicated to adopting a Lean approach to quality without compromising safety or reliability.
  • Knowledge of quality tools such as Lean principles, measurement systems analysis, design of experiments, statistical process control, root cause analysis and corrective action, advanced product quality planning (APQP), metrology, process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA), control plans, and various problem-solving approaches.
  • Experience developing or supporting complex mechanical/structural assemblies, advanced composites systems, fluid component/valve assembly, pre-preg lamination/curing composites, CNC machining, forming, bending, bonding, drilling, fastening, and other assembly manufacturing processes, avionics integration and testing, fluid system pressure testing, and welding (electron beam (EB), TIG).
Additional Requirements:
  • Ability to work extended hours, weekends, and offsite as needed.
Compensation and Benefits:

Pay range: $95,000.00 - $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 job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
