MechanicalEngineer(SuperHeavyBooster)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. MECHANICAL ENGINEER (SUPER HEAVY BOOSTER) The Booster Mechanical Engineering team is responsible for creating a rapidly manufacturable 1st Stage. The products they build can range from Aft End Thrust Structure to Hot Stage Adapter to Qualification Article Test Tanks, as well as the tooling and processes required to build them. As a structures engineer, you partner with design teams from the earliest phases, ensuring manufacturability and overseeing hardware production throughout its lifecycle. On the production line, you collaborate with production technicians from the initial development article through rate production, driving and implementing meaningful changes to parts, processes, planning, and tooling to improve the overall production system. Given the scale of this team's products, structures engineers significantly influence the vehicle's design, equipment, and factory infrastructure. RESPONSIBILITIES: Work closely with vehicle analysts and design teams to ensure solutions meet vehicle design and manufacturing process requirements Develop production procedures and manage the transition of primary structures and assemblies from the development phase to high-rate production Coordinate and execute development, qualification, and acceptance testing of systems, machinery, and tooling needed to meet hardware delivery deadlines Execute design for manufacturability changes to enhance production efficiency Create original CAD models and prints for flight and/or tooling components Lead the on-site design engineering contact for the efficient build of parts and assemblies Create and maintain build schedules Resolve and analyze manufacturing discrepancies while interfacing with the quality team
