Join SpaceX's Starlink Team as a Senior Mechanical Engineer

At SpaceX, we're pushing the boundaries of space technology to make humanity a multi-planetary species. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer on our Starlink team, you'll play a critical role in designing and developing the next generation of satellite systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own complex hardware from conceptual design through high-volume production and on-orbit operation
  • Develop design criteria, collaborate on requirements, and drive system-level optimization
  • Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high-level systems trades and steer overall product direction
  • Drive holistic DFM to create elegant designs with a focus on piece part and process count reductions, error proofing at every step of fabrication and integration, and consistent performance and production metrics
  • Establish an efficient product lifecycle starting in the supply chain all the way through final integration that balances cost, complexity, and quality; work closely with partner teams to design and realize an efficient in-house production line
  • Perform environmental and performance testing on hardware to validate analysis and demonstrate compliance to design criteria
  • Own product delivery timeline through conception, design, assembly, and launch
  • Demonstrate extreme ownership of product outcomes at every stage of development and production

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
  • Experience with CAD and FEA software packages
  • 5+ years of experience with mechanical/electromechanical design, analysis, testing, and/or manufacturing

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's degree in engineering or a related technical discipline
  • 3+ years of professional experience in mechanical design and analysis
  • 2+ years of hands-on project experience with complex mechanical systems, preferably as a team lead
  • Proficient in 3D CAD (NX preferred)
  • Solid understanding and application of GD&T
  • Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
  • Prior ownership of a complex component or assembly from initial design through high-volume production ramp
  • Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills

Additional Requirements:

  • Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones

Compensation and Benefits:

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer at SpaceX, you'll be eligible for a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package, and opportunities for professional growth and development. You'll also have access to our state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technology.
