MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING SPECIALIST - 2ND SHIFT (STARLINK)

At SpaceX we’re leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s 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. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the world.

The success of Starlink depends on the quality, reliability, cost, manufacturability, throughput, and security of the products that you deliver. If you seek a fast-paced, dynamic environment; if you thrive on solving difficult problems where resolutions have high impact; and if you love the challenge of building something from scratch, then this role will be an ideal next career step. We are looking for talented manufacturing specialists to help establish new manufacturing and test processes and support full-scale production for the user terminal (a high-volume manufactured product that consumers will have in their homes).

Responsibilities

• Execute new product introduction builds across all work centers
• Program, load, and operate automated equipment
• Triage non-conforming products and drive resolution and preventative actions
• Resolve production issues while ensuring design integrity, product quality, and delivery timelines

• Ensure the successful transition of products from development to volume production
• Identify continuous improvement opportunities for yield, performance, and cost
• Define maintenance schedules and support activities

• Experience with electrical tests, in circuit and/or bed of nails testing
• Ability to deliver high-quality hardware in a fast-paced NPI environment
• Ability to adapt and process change quickly
• Excellent computer skills (email, Microsoft Windows, ERP/MRP/MES systems, iOS, executing custom-developed software)
• Excellent communication (written and verbal) and teamwork skills
• Ability to provide process and design improvement suggestions to engineering
