Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the structural design and delivery of Starship production infrastructure, ranging from small tooling fixtures to entire factory buildings. Manage the full project lifecycle including analysis, fabrication, and construction integration with other engineering teams.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Structural, or Aerospace Engineering with at least one year of professional experience in structural design. Candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents to comply with ITAR regulations.
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.
MECHANICAL ENGINEER (STRUCTURES), STARBASE INFRASTRUCTURE
Our elite Starbase team is building the infrastructure required to make humanity multiplanetary at unprecedented speed and scale. This includes the design, fabrication, and construction of massive structural systems that support high-volume Starship production operations. The work is demanding, the environment is unforgiving, and the pace is relentless — but the mission is unmatched.
We are seeking a structures-focused Mechanical Engineer to own the design and delivery of critical production infrastructure. You will work on large-scale steel structures, factory support systems, ground support equipment (GSE), and tooling structures that must withstand heavy loads, dynamic manufacturing environments, and rapid operational cycles.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft
SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary. SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA. For more information, visit www.spacex.com.
