Responsible Engineer Turbomachinery Starship

RESPONSIBLE ENGINEER TURBOMACHINERY (STARSHIP)

This role as a responsible engineer (RE) focuses on the development of turbomachinery for Starships fluid systems to create highperformance and highly manufacturable interplanetary vehicles. The position involves designing analyzing and building advanced turbopumps that manage pressurization for Starship throughout all phases of travel to the Moon and Mars including inspace propellant transfer. This is a unique opportunity to expand the frontiers of turbomachinery knowledge and manage cryogenic fluids in space.

Key responsibilities include sizing turbomachinery components performing detailed mechanical design conducting structural and fluid analysis and overseeing the manufacturing and assembly of parts and systems. The RE will be the primary owner of turbomachinery hardware tasked with developing the concept of operations for each unit from acceptance testing through inflight performance.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of turbomachinery and manufacturing engineers driving the rapid development and of designs for Starships propulsion system turbomachinery
• Designbuildandtestturbopumps for Starship the most advanced orbital vehicle propulsion system ever designed
• Develop and train teammates to support empowered product ownership utilizing riskconscious decisionmaking skills under pressure
• Own turbomachinery product families every engineer at SpaceX assumes profound responsibility for their hardware
• Interface with our worldclass production team to ensure that your teams designs are successfully translated into the fleet of rockets that is revolutionizing access to space
• Maintain a positive and constructive attitude in the face of technical and nontechnical challenges
• Work collaboratively with commercial and governmental customers to ensure 100 mission success

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelors degree in an engineering discipline
• 2 years of professional experience in turbomachinery design and analysis role (Structural and/or fluid)
