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 ofenabling human life on Mars.SR. MECHANICAL ENGINEER (STARSHIP AVIONICS)The Starship Avionics team is responsible for designing a Starship avionics system that is optimized for high reliability at a low mass and cost. Our charter is to develop highly producible mechanical designs and packaging solutions that protect our electronics from the harsh mechanical and thermal environments of launch vehicle operations.RESPONSIBILITIES:Design packaging solutions for electro-mechanical assembliesThermal, structural, and tolerance analysis for electro-mechanical assemblies using both hand calculations and finite element analysisParticipate in initial mechanical design, 3D modeling, creation of production drawings and maintenance of design dataFailure analysis of components as it relates to thermal, loads, vibration and shockInterface with machine shops and production teams to ensure final designs can be produced in accordance with overall project goalsOwn the hardware delivery timeline and success through inception, design, assembly, test, and integrationLead design reviews internally and participate in reviews with suppliers and customersEnsure structural designs are capable of both weight and rate targets using innovative design and manufacturing approachesBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:Bachelor's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering5+ years of experience with mechanical or electromechanical design and analysis (internships and significant student project experience qualify)PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skillsExperience with CAD and FEA software packagesProficient and frequent use of hand calculations, finite element analyses (FEA), and computer-aided designs (CAD)Exposure to high volume production designs with a focus on design for manufacturabilityExposure to designing for high vibration environmentsDemonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modesWorking knowledge of thermal and structural FEA studiesExperience with fatigue and thermal testing of electro-mechanical assembliesSolid understanding and application of GD&T (e.g. ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN)Experience working with PCB designers and exposure to PCB layoutExperience with structural and thermal analysis of rocket componentsADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestonesITAR REQUIREMENTS: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. * 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. * 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
