MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER PRODUCTION (STARLINK)

As a member of the Starlink Production Design team you will design the factory of the future enabling mass production of satellites ground stations and high-performance space hardware that has never been produced in volume. You will design custom tooling and machinery for production processes that range from manual to highly automated. You will use your expertise in mechanical engineering to design analyze fabricate qualify and commission structures mechanism and automation equipment optimizing for pace of execution and net impact to SpaceX. You will personally own high impact projects and drive them from concept to completion on a time scale measured in months not years.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Design and develop structures mechanisms and automation equipment to enable high volume production of Starlink Satellites
Demonstrate extreme ownership of projects through their entire lifecycle from initial concept generation through fabrication and production bring-up
Balance simultaneous projects of varying scope and complexity in a fast-paced environment
Partner with flight design and production teams to develop the satellite factory and production processes in parallel
Solve complex open-ended problems with an emphasis on speed of execution and efficiency
