Job Summary

As a Manufacturing Engineer for Raptor machining at SpaceX, you will have the opportunity to influence, scale, and solve challenging problems relating to the production of turbopump piece parts and processing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Identify, develop, and implement machining processes to help solve for engine cost, quality, and production rate – specifically focused on Valve, Turbopump, Thrust Chamber or Injector hardware.
  • Work between manufacturing and design engineers, machinists, technicians, and quality to ensure processes are robust and any production problems are quickly solved.
  • Partner with design to identify and implement design for manufacturing (DFM) updates at both the piece part and system level; own change management into production.
  • Aggressively implement machining process controls that allow parts to run 'lights out'. Leverage latest technologies and programming strategies to reduce in-cycle intervention.
  • Be responsible for part or part family quality; understand quality landscape, and drive projects to ensure dimensions meet part requirements with low overhead.
  • Drive machining processes toward statistically controlled (SPC) environment. Develop and implement tools needed to show capability.
  • Oversee full circle machining process from fixture design and manufacturing, CAM programming and program refinement, cutting tool selection, and buyoff/inspection methodologies.
  • Constantly challenge each process, part, operation to create the most manufacturable and reliable engine hardware possible.
  • Work with production to ensure hardware you are responsible for is delivered on-time or ahead of schedule.
  • Oversee introduction and implementation of new products and products revisions, frequently multiple at a given time.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline or physics.
  • 1+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment (student project team and internship experience qualifies).
  • Strong experience with machining concepts, problems and producing hardware.
  • Ability and desire to work in a fast-paced, problem-solving environment.
  • Experience in a design or product development engineering role.
  • Master's degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or aerospace engineering.
  • Ability to work on multiple projects and initiatives in parallel.
  • Mechanical component and/or tooling design and analysis (3D computer-aided design).
  • Experience with process development from R&D to volume manufacturing.
  • Experience writing work instructions and procedures for critical aerospace parts.
  • Experience in a production environment within the aerospace industry.
Additional Requirements
  • This is a hands-on position that will require standing for long durations of your day and working directly with hardware on the floor.
  • Must be comfortable stooping, bending, and standing.
  • Position may require occasional travel, long hours or weekend work.
