À propos du poste

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 ENGINEER (FALCON TEST) At SpaceX, our commitment to reliability begins with design but is realized through exhaustive testing at the Rocket Development Facility in McGregor, TX. To eliminate anomalies and ensure maximum product quality, the test team pushes our hardware to its limits in as close to flight-like conditions as possible. Test engineers are ultimately responsible for the entire test process. They develop test requirements, handle the test articles, operate test stand systems, conduct tests, analyze data to confirm performance, and inform the design/production process.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Test rocket hardware to determine suitability for flight
Provide on-console engineering support for technicians during daily test stand and hangar operations
Perform real-time and post-test data review to evaluate the performance of test article and stand systems (fluid, structural, thermal, electrical). This includes documenting test results and recommending areas for upgrades and improvement
Find innovative ways to create, review, and optimize test processes/procedures to increase testing capability and rate
Identify and characterize system pitfalls and potential hazards; then work to resolve these by collaborating with design, production, and launch engineers on improvements for flight hardware and processes
Serve as the final authority to ensure all operations are conducted in a safe manner
Perform other related duties, as assigned, for the purpose of ensuring an efficient and effective work environment

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering or other engineering field
1+ years of hands-on testing experience (experience from internships, clubs or other hands-on extra-curricular activities qualifies)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

3+ years of hands on experience with mechanical systems, structural systems, propulsion systems, fluid systems, flight hardware or test operations
Ability to thrive in ambiguous requirements and aggressive timelines
High levels of personal autonomy and self-driven motivation
Knowledge of hazardous systems (high pressure, cryogenic, flammable, hypergolic, pyrophoric)
High level of familiarity with instrumentation and control (programmable logic control, high speed data acquisition, pressure transducers, thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, accelerometers, flow meters, load cells, relays, solenoid valves)
Experience with code based data analytics (Python, R, MATLAB, NI LabVIEW) to solve real world problems
Demonstrated experience of effective root cause and failure analysis
Experience writing and optimizing high risk technical procedures and work instructions
Ability to read, understand and apply technical manuals, data reports, mechanical schematics, electrical schematics, and design specifications
Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively in a team environment, accomplishing tasks with limited resources at a rapid pace

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Flight hardware is typically built in tight quarters and physical dexterity is required
Physical effort including sitting or standing for extended periods of time, lifting and carrying weight such as materials or equipment (up to 25 lbs. unassisted)
Work performed in an environment with exposure to fumes, odors and noise
Occasionally exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments (heat, cold, rain)
Hours vary depending on site operational needs; flexibility required
