At SpaceX, we're pushing the boundaries of space exploration and development. As a Sensor Mechanical Test Engineer, you'll play a critical role in designing, building, and testing innovative sensing solutions that enable life on Mars.
The Sensor Development team is responsible for creating test systems for physical sensors, such as pressure transducers, thermocouples, accelerometers, heat flux sensors, and flow sensors. As a member of this team, you'll work on developing test systems that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Designing and developing test systems for physical sensors
- Building analytical and finite element models to predict test system performance
- Completing stress analysis of high-pressure systems
- Creating 3D assemblies, production 2D drawings, and completing tolerance analysis for test systems
- Completing failure analysis to ensure high safety standards are achieved
- Collaborating with machine shops and engineering teams to ensure test system designs meet overall test goals
To be successful in this role, you'll need:
- A Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering
- Hands-on experience with sensors, such as pressure transducers, accelerometers, thermocouples, and RTDs
- Hands-on experience using and designing high-pressure static and/or dynamic test systems
Preferred skills and experience include:
- 3+ years of experience in the design of aerospace or automotive test systems
- Exposure to high-volume production testing systems
- Experience with fatigue and thermal testing
- Hands-on experience with shock tube testing
- Experience with NX and TeamCenter
