Electrical Engineer Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Engineer to join our team. As an Electrical Engineer at SpaceX, you will be responsible for designing and developing cutting-edge electronics for rockets and spacecraft.
This is a unique opportunity to work on exciting projects that have the potential to revolutionize space travel. If you're passionate about electronics and space exploration, this could be the perfect role for you.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design and develop high-reliability electronics for rockets and spacecraft
* Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test
* Create development and qualification testing campaigns and exercise designs to their limits
* Support hardware through production, integration, and flight
* Work with experts from other teams and departments to drive changes that make the system more efficient, manufacturable, and reliable
Requirements:
* Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering
* 1+ years of experience designing, building, or testing circuit boards or other electronics (research, internships and extracurricular academic projects qualify)
Preferred Skills and Experience:
* Passion for spaceflight and curiosity for electronics in high-reliability applications
* Excitement for making systems smarter, better, faster, cheaper
* Experience making products or systems work with minimal time and resources
* Experience developing fundamentally new hardware, not just incrementally updating legacy hardware
* Experience with circuit board layout, especially for switching power converters or high-speed digital applications
* Experience designing switching power converters, power magnetics, analog control loops, solid state load switches, motor inverters, EMI / EMC compliance, or sensor signal conditioning circuits
* Experience with high voltage devices, lithium ion batteries, or power distribution optimization
* Experience with high performance digital processors, FPGAs, memory chips, or network switches
* Experience with circuit board design-for-manufacturing or productization of electronics
* Experience with automating hardware development functions (e.g. scripting to control benchtop equipment or to accelerate analysis or simulation)
* Ability to work in a fast-paced and autonomously driven environment
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Additional Requirements:
* Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones
* To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C.
