ELECTRICAL RELIABILITY ENGINEER (FALCON)

The Build Reliability team at SpaceX is a diverse, cross-functional group dedicated to ensuring the dependability of Avionics Hardware. As an Avionics Build Reliability Engineer, you will gain extensive exposure by collaborating with various core teams at SpaceX, overseeing hardware from its design phase through production and operational stages. Your analytical skills will be crucial in understanding the elements that influence reliability, and you will support quality objectives within design and development teams to enhance reliability across manufacturing, testing, and flight operations. You possess the capability to delve into intricate details to identify, comprehend, and resolve challenging technical issues while employing a systems-level perspective to prioritize concerns affecting the vehicle as a whole. You excel in a hands-on setting, spending time in the office, on the production floor, and in the laboratory to fulfill our mission of making humanity interplanetary.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Collaborate with electrical design engineering and avionics manufacturing teams throughout product development and production to enhance product reliability by implementing best practices in design and establishing consistent process controls.
  • Utilize schematics, testing equipment, and inspection methodologies to conduct investigations into PCBA test failures, performing structured root cause analyses to identify necessary design, manufacturing, and process modifications to avert future product failures.
  • Identify opportunities for risk mitigation and simplification in designs and processes to enhance manufacturability, working alongside integrated product teams to drive improvements and address significant and recurring non-conformances.
  • Oversee product yield rates through regular quality reviews and initiate corrective actions for products that do not meet design specifications.
  • Manage suspect or known non-conforming products, providing guidance to quality inspectors, technicians, supervisors, and engineers to assist in quarantine and rework processes.
  • Continuously challenge requirements to discern value-added elements from non-value-added overhead. Collaborate with core avionics teams to determine the minimum viable sequence of acceptance testing necessary for flight hardware to ensure high reliability at the system level.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, hardware engineering, engineering physics, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 1+ years of experience with digital or mixed-signal designs, utilizing oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and/or soldering equipment (including internships and academic projects).
  • 1+ years in a manufacturing, reliability, and/or design engineering role (student project experience or internships qualify).

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Demonstrated application of process controls in high-volume manufacturing, testing, and quality environments.
  • Programming proficiency in Python/SQL/PowerBI, focusing on data analysis and automation.
  • Familiarity with quality tools such as Lean principles, Six Sigma, root cause analysis, corrective action, advanced product quality planning (APQP), metrology, process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA), control plans, and various problem-solving methodologies.
  • Experience in developing or supporting products/processes including:
    • Testing of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits.
    • Design for excellence (DFX), derating, and related analyses.
    • Digital communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, and RS422.
    • Battery systems design and assembly.
    • RF hardware testing.
    • Solar power systems design and assembly.
    • Statistical Process Control (SPC).
