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.

SR. AUTOMATION AND CONTROLS ENGINEER, INSOURCE MANUFACTURING (STARLINK)

SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity, including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable.

As a member of the Materials Engineering group, you will develop and implement technologies to support high-volume production, rapid product iteration, and new capabilities at SpaceX. You will work with multiple manufacturing disciplines, including injection molding, high pressure die casting, stamping, and mold manufacturing. A strong focus on safety is required, ensuring that all technologies and processes meet the highest safety standards. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design engineering, manufacturing, and operations. Having an open mindset, challenging requirements, and using engineering fundamentals are essential in this role.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Design, develop, and manage automation projects
Manage specifications, cost, lead-time, installation, and commissioning of new equipment
Own safety strategy and planning. Implement ANSI/RIA15.06/OSHA compliant systems
Collaborate with and challenge mechanical designers and manufacturing engineers to create system requirements and architecture
Create and maintain equipment documentation and drawings to enable hand-off to operational teams
Debug, root-cause, and make continuous improvements of equipment in a high-rate production environment
Architect, write, and debug PLC code with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable, and reusable for high-volume manufacturing applications
Generate aesthetically simple HMI screens to make complex machines easy to understand, operate, and troubleshoot
Design electrical systems compliant to NEC, NFPA, & UL508A regulations
Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic and fluid plumbing

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
5+ years of experience in the design and commissioning of controls systems for industrial applications

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Process integration and electromechanical/mechatronic systems experience
Robot programming experience, preferably ABB
C#, .NET, python and/or SQL experience
PLC programming experience, preferably Beckhoff TwinCAT or Siemens TIA Portal
HMI and SCADA programming experience, preferably Ignition or Beckhoff TwinCAT HMI
Field bus networks, serial communication and Ethernet communication
Knowledge of NEC, UL508A codes
Experience with 3D CAD, preferably Siemens NX
Exposure to a wide variety of industrial machinery
Experience in fast-paced iterative design and test environments
Experience automating the aggregation of metrics into dashboards and alerting systems
Experience with developing and deploying tools used for data analysis
Industrial software application to mechanical assemblies, electrical systems, sensors, pneumatics/hydraulics, including how to safely checkout these interdisciplinary systems prior to production implementation
Electrical schematic CAD experience using EPlan
Electrical sizing of motors, cables, circuit protection, VFDs, motor starters, and other motion systems
Hands-on experience building and commissioning high quality electrical control panels and electro-mechanical systems

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be willing to travel up to 10%
Standing/walking for long periods of time
Must be willing to work long hours and weekends as necessary to accommodate manufacturing and test campaigns

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.
