Full job description
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.
FACTORY ENGINEER (STARLINK PRODUCTION)
One of the most ambitious missions that SpaceX has undertaken to date, the Starlink network is our solution to providing reliable internet to the entire world. We are looking for a talented engineer to help design processes and systems for factories that will output millions of Starlink user terminals, silicon packaging chips, and solar cells.
The success of Starlink depends on the quality, reliability, cost, manufacturability, throughput, and security of the products that we deliver. If you seek a fast-paced, dynamic environment; if you thrive on solving difficult problems where resolutions have a high impact; and if you love the challenge of building something from scratch, then this role will be an ideal next career step.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Develop user terminal production factory design on a physical and digital level, including building requirements, facility resources, and part flow to meet production rate of millions of units/year
Ownership of floor layouts, capacity studies, and product flow analysis to ensure on-time product delivery
Coordinate and schedule construction activities with internal SpaceX teams and external general/sub-contractors
Develop and maintain project schedules and budgets for capital projects, monitoring progress and addressing deviations in real time
Define new business processes and systems for high volume production, including manufacturing execution, inventory management, nonconformance resolution, configuration management, material traceability, process control, and maintenance
Act as subject matter expert in multiple Starlink production processes and systems, enabling complex data gathering, troubleshooting, and problem solving
Implement data acquisition and tracking for production and quality metrics, as well as environmental, testing, and safety controls
Assist production/engineering leadership team to identify trends and opportunities for optimizing product output, quality enhancements, and cost of manufacturability
Consistently contribute effort, leadership, and creative thinking to solving complex problems in a collaborative fashion and under tight deadlines
Collaborate across disciplines including Engineering, Production, Test, Inventory, Quality, Supply Chain, and Customer Experience to ensure efficiency and consistency across the organization
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, software, industrial, or other engineering discipline
1+ years of experience in manufacturing or industrial project management (collegiate extracurricular engineering projects such as lab projects, Formula SAE, Baja SAE, Design Build Fly team, competitions, or internships qualify)
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
High-volume production experience (consumer goods, automotive, etc.)
Project management experience, particularly related to creating or overhauling cross-functional business processes in a high-volume manufacturing environment
Experience working with contractors on infrastructure projects across multiple disciplines
Working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure
Experience working with AutoCAD or Revit models
Knowledge of database structures and SQL
Understanding of lean engineering and Six Sigma concepts and their application
Experience with production automation and tooling
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Experience analyzing large datasets and communicating conclusions
Experience supporting production of complex electro-mechanical systems in high volume work centers and/or during production ramp-up
Ability to identify customer needs, gather requirements, and execute independently
Creative approach to problem solving and exceptional analytical skills
Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment that includes working with changing needs and requirements
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Must be able to work extended hours and/or weekends when needed to meet major milestones
Must be willing to travel up to 10%
This position is based in Bastrop, TX and requires being onsite - remote work not considered
ITAR REQUIREMENTS:
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

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.
