Senior Solar Cell Manufacturing Engineer – Fast Ramp

SpaceX; Bastrop (TX); Sur place; USD 130 000 - 185 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

SpaceX is seeking a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer to own production processes and equipment for solar cell manufacturing at the Bastrop, TX facility. You will drive the line from concept through commissioning to sustained production, partnering with design, equipment, supply chain, and production teams.

You will lead ramping efforts, improve yield and uptime, and implement automation opportunities while ensuring manufacturability and process robustness across high‑volume production environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of experience designing, building, manufacturing, or testing hardware (internship experience is applicable).

Responsabilités

• Design, commission, and qualify production processes and equipment for solar cell manufacturing, from pilot builds through full-rate production
• Lead the production ramp by working through multi-disciplinary issues to hit volume, yield, and cost targets
• Drive yield, uptime, and rate improvements to hit program targets (OEE)
• Lead prototype and engineering builds, ensuring incremental milestones for production development are met
• Provide feedback to the design and process teams to improve design for manufacturability and process robustness
• Collaborate with equipment engineering, supply chain, production technicians, and quality to keep processes stable and solve production problems quickly
• Identify and establish requirements for automation opportunities, and evaluate them for return on investment
• Manage work instructions, process documentation, and training for owned processes
• Drive corrective actions, root cause analysis, and process improvements on owned processes and products
• Use process and equipment data to find bottlenecks, cut scrap, and put preventive actions in place that protect rate and yield
