Avionics Build Reliability Engineer Job Description

At SpaceX, we are seeking a highly skilled Avionics Build Reliability Engineer to join our team. As an Avionics Build Reliability Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability and quality of our avionics systems.

Responsibilities:
  • Partner with core electrical design engineering and avionics manufacturing teams to improve product reliability by applying best practices to designs and establishing repeatable process control.
  • Utilize schematics, test equipment, and inspection processes to conduct PCBA test failure investigations, performing structured root cause analysis to identify design, manufacturing, and process changes to prevent future product failures.
  • 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.
  • Monitor the yield rate of products through regular build quality reviews, and drive corrective action to products not meeting design specifications.
  • Contain suspect or known non-conforming product, providing guidance to quality inspectors, technicians, shop supervisors and engineers to assist in quarantining and rework activities.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, hardware engineering, engineering physics, or other engineering discipline.
  • 1+ years working with digital or mixed-signal designs, using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and/or soldering equipment.
  • 1+ years in a manufacturing, reliability, and/or design engineering role.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Demonstrated experience troubleshooting/root causing electrical hardware failures.
  • Ability and willingness to obtain a Top Secret clearance.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent engineering discipline.
  • 2+ Years of industry experience working with electronic hardware.
  • Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, enthusiasm for the team's spirit of innovation and mission of improving reliability in cutting-edge technology.
  • Demonstrated application of process controls in high-volume manufacturing, test, and quality environment.
  • Programming experience in Python/SQL/PowerBI with an emphasis on data analysis and automation.
  • Knowledge of quality tools such as Lean principles, Six Sigma, 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.
Additional Requirements:
  • An active clearance may provide the opportunity for you to work on sensitive SpaceX missions; if so, you will be subject to pre-employment drug and random drug and alcohol testing.
  • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
Compensation and Benefits:

At SpaceX, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks.

Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year.

Pay range: $95,000.00-$115,000.00 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.

Those with an active clearance will receive a 10% differential, up to an additional $15,000 annually, once officially briefed into a classified program.
