Job Description

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.

HARDWARE RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARLINK PRODUCT)

SpaceX is developing a lowlatency broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites Starlink will provide fast reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable. The Hardware Reliability Team at Starlink is an interdisciplinary team that is committed to the reliability of the mechanical and electrical hardware required to connect our customers to our satellites.

Your breadth of exposure will span across dozens of areas (mechanical electrical RF software test etc. as you collaborate with core groups at SpaceX to bring hardware from initial concept development to fullscale highvolume production.

You will use data to understand the factors that drive process and product reliability in design and manufacturing. You will dive deep into the details to identify understand and solve difficult technical problems to influence product design and manufacturing processes. You will be exposed to a handson environment that will enable you to spend time on the factory floor and in the test lab to improve the reliability of hardware and ultimately the user experience.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Develop and implement reliability test strategies for new products and their subcomponents to maximize field life and minimize early life failures
  • Develop implement and validate test and inspection processes for new and existing products and production processes ensuring that criteria are objective and that reliability goals are consistently met
  • Design and execute novel environmental RF mechanical and electrical testing techniques tailored to the product and its functions
  • Write test programs to exercise the functionality of the product over various conditions and environments
  • Automate reliability test initiatives and reporting using proper data visualization techniques and thorough knowledge of the product and its functions
  • Define the ongoing reliability testing strategy to monitor the manufacturing process health and screen for longterm reliability defects caused by process and component variability
  • Monitor product and process quality through production rampup using a suite of analysis tools and drive improvements to areas that are underperformingin terms of key quality metrics
  • Investigate failures in production and test identifying and mitigating the immediate and underlying root causes in order to reduce risk and improve reliability of designs and processes
  • Contain suspect or known nonconforming product providing guidance to production representatives and engineers to assist in quarantining and rework activities
  • Work closely with hardware software manufacturing and network engineering teams to maximize reliability across all disciplines

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelors degree in an engineering discipline
  • 1 years of experience in test analysis manufacturing or hardware development (internship and project experience is applicable)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Experience with both electronics and mechanical design and analysis including knowledge of RF principles
  • Programming experience in Python C and SQL with an emphasis on data analysis and automation
  • Demonstrated capability to think creatively and solve complex problems with little to no supervision on schedule as an individual or as a member of an integrated team
  • Experience in a fastpaced iterative design environment within the consumer electronics mobile handset medical devices aerospace marine or automotive industries

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Ability to work extended hours weekends and offsite as needed
