At SpaceX, we're pushing the boundaries of space technology to make humanity a multi-planetary species. As a Mechanical/Fluids Launch Engineer on our Starship team, you'll play a critical role in developing the systems that will take us to the stars.
The Starship Tower and Launch Mount are key components of our fully reusable transportation system, designed to launch crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Your expertise in mechanical design and analysis will be essential in ensuring the success of these complex systems.
Key Responsibilities
* Drive hardware development for systems within the Starship tower and launch mount, from basic architecture through design, analysis, manufacturing, activation, and operational phases
* Own design and manufacturing of mechanisms, actuation systems, fluid systems, and large structures
* Perform structural, dynamic, thermal, and fluids analysis as necessary to determine requirements and to optimize the design of these systems
* Collaborate with software and operation engineers to develop robust, fault-tolerant systems and software that perform every time in the varying extreme conditions of a launch environment
Requirements
* Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
* 1+ years of experience with CAD and FEA software packages
* 1+ years of experience with mechanical or fluid systems design, analysis, and hands-on assembly (internship or project team experience qualify)
We're looking for candidates who are self-motivated, have strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills, and can work well in a fast-paced environment.
What We Offer
* A chance to work on cutting-edge technology that will take humanity to new heights
* A collaborative and dynamic work environment
* Opportunities for professional growth and development
