At SpaceX, we're pushing the boundaries of space technology and making humanity a multi-planetary species. As an Electrical Engineer - Reliability Specialist, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability of our avionics hardware.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Partner with electrical design engineering and avionics manufacturing teams to improve product reliability through best practices and repeatable process control.
  • 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.
  • Constantly challenge requirements to determine what adds value and what is non-value added overhead, working with core avionics to determine the minimum viable sequence of acceptance testing that needs to be performed on flight hardware to guarantee high reliability at the system level.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, hardware engineering, engineering physics, or equivalent engineering discipline.
  • 1+ years working with digital or mixed-signal designs, using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and/or soldering equipment (includes internships and school projects).
  • 1+ years in a manufacturing, reliability, and/or design engineering role (student project team or internship experience qualifies).

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Demonstrated experience troubleshooting/root causing electrical hardware failures.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent engineering discipline.
  • 2+ Years of industry experience working with electronic hardware.
  • Strong interpersonal and collaborative 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.
  • Experience developing or supporting any of the following products/processes: analog, digital, and mixed signal circuit testing, design for excellence (DFX), derating, and related analyses, digital communications interfaces including SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, and RS422, battery systems design and assembly, RF hardware testing, solar power systems design and assembly, and statistical process control (SPC).

Additional Requirements:

  • Ability to work extended hours, weekends, and offsite as needed.

Compensation and Benefits:

Pay range: Build Reliability Engineer/Level I: $95,000.00-$115,000.00 per year, Build Reliability Engineer/Level II: $110,000.00-$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.
