Original 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 of enabling human life on Mars.

LAUNCH ENGINEER, FLUID SYSTEMS (STARSHIP)

Aggressively paced, constantly evolving, results-focused, real-as-it-gets engineering positions available for the ambitious. We design, build, activate, modify, improve, and maintain the fluid systems that fuel the most powerful rocket in the world. Aimed at pivoting and fixing issues every day, you can plan on having your skills put to the test, having hardware you designed, made, and installed the same day in a development-focused environment. From tens of thousands of gallons per minute of cryogens to tens of pounds per second of high-pressure gas, we develop clever solutions to meet the needs of a demanding launch and test program both today and in the future.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Analyze, design, and build systems that support critical rocket launches and testing
Cradle-to-grave project ownership through hosting design reviews, project decision justification, equipment procurement, and coordination and assistance of the construction of your ideas
Design modular hardware capable of being manufactured at volume for future launch sites across the world
Apply interdisciplinary engineering skills in fields of system-level process design and initial sizing, detailed pressurized fluid and thermal analysis, structural engineering, materials, and component selection, and cost/schedule optimization
Work directly with technicians and support groups to build your designs, and fix real-world problems on the fly
Maintain a tight feedback loop with the launch operations team to rapidly alter plans as necessary to meet tight deadlines
Activate and troubleshoot equipment to achieve design objectives and iterate system maintenance strategies to reduce future downtimes
Independently evaluate complex problems and arrive at solutions to seemingly impractical problems that best support the program
Hands-on approach to tackling daily field projects necessary to keep the company launching rockets

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree in physics, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering, or other engineering discipline
1+ years of hands-on build or design experience (internship, club, and competition team experience qualifies)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Ability to work independently as well as part of a team, take initiative, and communicate effectively
Ability to rapidly change roles/responsibilities while maintaining a high sense of urgency in a high-paced, challenging work environment
Willingness to perform other related duties to ensure an efficient and effective work environment
Experience with quick thinking and problem-solving in stressful situations
Experience solving challenges posed by short deadlines
Strong fundamental intuition of fluid and/or structural/mechanical systems
Creativity to imagine and design for reliability, efficiency, and maintainability from scratch
General hands-on experience with machining, welding, and other fabrication techniques is a plus
Experience with instrumentation, testing, data review and analysis, verification against a model
3+ years of mechanical, fluids, or thermal design experience in an industrial setting or equivalent
Experience with high-pressure and cryogenic fluid systems and components
Experience producing drawings for welders and machine shop fabrication
Collaborative team player, eager to find the best solution while balancing cost and schedule
Acute attention to detail, ability to see interactions with other systems to avoid problems
Intermediate skill level using CAD (NX a plus)
Ability to verify designs with simplified hand calculations; experience in finite element analysis (FEA) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a plus
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) piping and pressure vessel design experience
Creative and passionate approach to addressing opportunities and challenges, and an enthusiastic, self-motivated, positive can-do attitude
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Ability to respond to emergencies to support priority projects, missions, and launches
Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed; flexibility is required
Ability to work in extreme outdoor environments when needed – heat, cold, wind, rain, etc.
Ability to work in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, and noise
Working conditions may be in tight quarters and physical dexterity is required
Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions in small openings, and climbing hand over hand
Ability to lift heavy objects up to 25 lbs. unassisted
Ability to work on ladders, lifts, and at elevated heights (up to 300 feet) with proper personal protective equipment (PPE)
Stand: Up to 6 hours per day
Sit: Up to 6 hours per day
Push/Pull: Up to ≤ 50 lbs. (unassisted) 15 minutes or less per day
Overhead reach: Up to 3 hours per day
Walk: Up to 10 hours per day
Lift/Carry: Up to ≤ 25 lbs. (unassisted) 15 minutes or less per day
Climb (ladder/stairs): Up to 1 hour per day
Kneel/Crouch: Up to 3 hours per day
Upper body twist: Up to 3 hours per day
Ability to work in temperatures over 80 degrees 6 hours or greater per day
Candidate must be capable of safely working at heights (up to 500ft), in confined spaces, operating heavy equipment and machinery, and performing the physical requirements of the job listed in the job description. Candidate may be required to complete a pre-employment questionnaire and/or physical to confirm these capabilities, which may include a medical history review

ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
