Build Reliability Engineer (Starship)

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.

BUILD RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARSHIP)

As a Build Reliability Engineer, you will be a part of a widely interdisciplinary team developing global manufacturing procedures, maximizing quality through efficient production. You will employ "reliability by any means necessary", stretching your expertise in fabrication methods, work instructions, tooling design, inspection procedures, data gathering / visualization, and broad collaboration. You will build new processes from the ground up, and routinely grade / improve execution of existing processes, driving continuous production improvement and ultimately be responsible for build-induced vehicle risk.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Develop manufacturing, integration, assembly, welding, NDE, cleanliness, and checkouts processes from the ground up, then enforce consistency across different work centers.
• Design and implement tooling for work access, mechanical / avionics / propulsion testing, build fixturing, lifting & rigging, and fluids.
• Define and document inspection requirements and procedures.
• Create training for production and inspection processes.
• Author planning, test plans, and training to execute processes and collect data, ensuring efficient and stable quality at increasing production volumes.
• Contain non-conforming hardware in collaboration with quality, production, and design groups to ensure systemic issues are corrected and risk is managed for the fleet.
• Work closely with design teams to improve DFM and requirement fulfillment. Aggressively modify requirements and manufacturing process where design intent and production rate are incompatible.
• Conduct build quality reviews to identify repeat and high impact issues. Drive corrective action within and outside of your work center.
