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.

TEST SPECIALIST, COMPONENTS (STARSHIELD)

Starshield leverages SpaceX's Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use, with an initial focus on three areas: Earth observation, communications, and hosted payloads. Designed to meet diverse mission requirements, Starshield satellites are capable of integrating a wide variety of payloads, offering unique versatility to users. With the proven ability to iterate rapidly, SpaceX's unique full-stack approach in developing end-to-end systems, from launch vehicles to user terminals, enables the deployment of capabilities at scale with unprecedented speed. Starshield's proliferated low-Earth orbit architecture provides inherent resiliency and constant connectivity to on-orbit assets, while SpaceX's proven rapid launch capability provides expedient and economical access to space.

The Test Specialist role is responsible for supporting the initial bring-up and future production of Starshield satellites. This includes designing tooling (electrical checkout racks, vehicle harnessing, DAQ setups etc.) and processes (vehicle checkout software, harness/component integration, troubleshooting procedures, etc.) to build Starshield vehicles at a continually increasing rapid cadence. Test Specialists will be expected to contribute to daily production activities, including dispositioning and troubleshooting issues, providing feedback and basic test software (Python-based) improvements to reduce false failures and improve test coverage, designing first-article flight and GSE hardware, working with engineers to execute sub-system development testing, and aiding production technicians. Test Specialists will also occasionally provide support with setting up and executing vehicle-level qualification tests, including thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC), electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other design validation tests.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical systems
Perform tests independently and with engineers, according to test procedures and design requirements
Conduct first-level troubleshooting of test system errors by reading and interpreting test logs and measurement data
Collaborate with engineers to develop and document test procedures
Develop safety barriers, protocols, and control systems that protect humans from high-voltage testing hazards
Assist in the design of test fixtures, test setups, and test stands to be used for qualification and/or development campaigns
Independently fabricate and build any of the following in accordance to the defined specifications:
Instrumentation including DAQ hardware and wire harnesses
Mechanical or fluid systems
High-voltage electrical systems
Aid in efforts to uncover root cause of equipment failures and develop permanent resolutions of issues found during test operations
Develop and document procedures and train operators for execution, maintenance, assembly, and anomaly handling
Maintain the shop floor including floor stock, tooling, and ground support equipment

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering, math, or technical discipline; or high school diploma or equivalency certificate and 2+ years of professional experience in a hands-on engineering technician or specialist role

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

1+ years of experience performing electronic testing and inspection using portable measuring devices
5+ years of experience reading electrical schematics to rework boards or perform tests
Ability to read and understand electromechanical schematics
Knowledge of Ohm's Law, power supplies, digital logic, ADC/DAC circuits, op amps, semiconductors, and communications protocols
Ability to read mechanical assembly drawings and blue prints
Experience developing, debugging, and deploying software that has been used in real world applications/projects (Python preferred)
Ability to fabricate and repair electrical systems, including: Soldering, crimping, and assembling connectors/harnesses
Experience in moderate to high-volume manufacturing
Excellent communication skills
Knowledge/experience with high voltage systems (AC and DC)
Knowledge/experience working with electrical components, data acquisition systems, and electrical harnessing

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be willing to work all shifts and available for overtime and weekends as needed
Standing for long periods of time, climbing up and down ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, and stretching may be required to perform the functions of this position
Ability to lift up to 25lbs, unassisted
Ability to stand, climb, walk, and work with object overhead
Willing to travel to other SpaceX sites and/or vendor sites as needed
This position requires being onsite in Hawthorne, CA, remote work not considered

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range:

Test Specialist/Level 1: $33.00 - $39.00/hour

Test Specialist/Level 2: $37.00 - $44.00/hour

Test Specialist/Level 3: $41.00 - $50.00/hour
