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.
BUILD RELIABILITY ENGINEER (FALCON)
The Build Reliability organization at SpaceX is an inclusive interdisciplinary team that is committed to the reliability of flight components and production assemblies. Your breadth of exposure as a Build Reliability Engineer will be immense as you collaborate with other core groups at SpaceX guiding the hardware from design to production and operation. You use data to understand the factors that drive reliability and support quality objectives in design and development teams to drive improvements in reliability in manufacturing test and flight. You have the ability to dive deepintothe details to identify understand and solve difficult technical problems and also utilize a system level approach to prioritize issues for the vehicle as a whole. You thrive in a handson environment and will spend time in the office on the factory floor and in the lab to execute on the mission to make humanity interplanetary.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Responsible partner with design engineering and manufacturing teams through product development and production to create quality plans for flight hardware including identification of key characteristics prototype testing for functionality and manufacturability first article and detailed inspection planning and consideration of past failures and lessons learned
- Develop implement and validate Lean test and inspection processes for new and existing products and process ensuring that criteria are objective and that quality goals are consistently met
- Monitor the success of products and processes through production rampup using a suite of quality and analysis tools
- Conduct regular build quality reviews to ensure that design intent is achieved and wellcommunicated; identify opportunities for risk reduction and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability collaborating with integrated product teams to drive improvements and address highimpact and repeating nonconformances
- Investigate failures in production test and flight 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 quality inspectors technicians shop supervisors and engineers to assist in quarantining and rework activities
