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.
SR. MANUFACTURING ENGINEER MIRCO-ELECTRONICS (STARLINK)
At SpaceX were leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink the worlds most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the worlds largest satellite constellation and is providing fast reliable internet to 5M users worldwide. We design build test and operate all parts of the system thousands of satellites consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing and the software that brings it all together. Weve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlinks potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlinks utility for communities and businesses around the globe.
As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer in our Micro-electronics area you will be responsible for developing novel manufacturing processes for our next generation of Satellite RF Modules. You will work closely with design (electrical/mechanical) component/equipment vendors and production associates to ramp up the micro-electronics cleanroom and take these products from NPI to high volume manufacturing which will be critical to the success of our next gen Starlink satellite constellation. This role will cover Micro-electronics processing such as: die attach plasma clean wire-bond and AOI.
