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 ofenabling human life on Mars. PROPULSION BUILD ENGINEER (STARSHIP) The Propulsion Build Engineer role is responsible for developing build processes, tooling, and designs for manufacturability that will enable high rate manufacturing of vehicle fluid systems. This role will involve heavy engagement with both the design teams and the build teams across the program. The role demands close interaction with the Starship and Super Heavy hardware, including participating in and driving the physical builds and installation of the propulsion systems. Propulsion Build Engineers will be highly engaged in the fabrication of a wide range of pressurized components and systems, including designing tooling (assembly aide, welding, part fixturing, etc.) and processes (welding, tube bending, pipe fitting, large part movement, and large structure integration) to rapidly build the Starship and Super Heavy vehicles. The role can include designing pressurized test setups, working with cryogenic fluids, and executing testing and data review. Further along in the build, this role will be responsible for items such as integration operations sequencing, and working with technicians on installing flight-critical hardware on the vehicle. Propulsion Build Engineers will be expected to sometimes act as de-facto supervisors and advisors to production technicians, welders, and other skilled labor partners. RESPONSIBILITIES:
