Starship Integration Engineer

4 weeks ago

Texas, United States SpaceX Full time

At SpaceX, we are pushing the boundaries of space exploration and development. As a Starship integration engineer, you will play a critical role in driving design to fit into specialized, high-rate factory stations; setting up tool, material, and labor flow paths; and integrating propulsion, avionics, and structural components with novel techniques. Your goal will be to constantly challenge requirements to delete parts or make them faster and more reliable to build.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with technicians, specialists, and welders to integrate propulsion, avionics, and structural components and build the most massive and powerful second-stage launch vehicle.
  • Execute design, build, qualification, and acceptance testing of subassemblies, systems, and tooling needed to meet hardware deadlines.
  • Design the new Starship production line to accelerate the build and integration of systems and subassemblies and work in tandem with Starship design teams to maximize efficiency and minimize cost/ton to orbit.
  • Develop a deep understanding of vehicle structures, avionics, propulsion architecture, and how the vehicle operates as an integrated system.
  • Troubleshoot hardware issues in real-time and push feedback to correct owners to eliminate repeat issues.
  • Interface with design, build, and systems engineering teams, as well as production leadership and technicians, to ensure delivery of test-ready hardware on time.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.
  • 1+ years of hands-on engineering experience (internship and school project experience qualify).

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience and passion for creating, tinkering, taking things apart, and building them again.
  • Proven experience building things that many would consider objectively too challenging to accomplish.
  • Ability to communicate mission-critical messaging effectively, explain complex topics succinctly, and ask questions to verify or defend technical rational.
  • Demonstrated experience driving and delivering significant outcomes.
  • Proven application of passion and curiosity to learn, build, and complete impactful projects.
  • Experience transitioning products from design to manufacturing and optimizing for high-volume.
  • Proven experience building metallic structures, ideally stainless-steel.
  • Ability to make informed executive decisions.
  • Experience leading or working on an engineering competition team, i.e. Formula SAE, Baja SAE, RoboSub, Combat Robotics, Rocketry, or similar.

Additional Requirements:

  • Flight hardware typically is built in tight quarters, and physical dexterity is required.
  • Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions in small openings, and climbing hand over hand.
  • Work performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, and noise.
  • Schedule varies depending on site operational needs; flexibility required.

Compensation and Benefits:

Pay range:
Starship Engineer/Level I: $95,000.00 - $115,000.00/per year
Starship 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 the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year.
