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.
AVIONICS TEST ENGINEER (STARSHIP)
The Components Test team develops the test and manufacturing processes for the most advanced spacecraft avionics in the world. Our engineers serve as hardware experts for the flight control devices and mechanisms that drive the critical capabilities on our spacecraft - from inertial measurement units, network hardware, power distribution, antennas and more. We design software and build the systems that test the flight components for maximum performance and reliability in extreme environments, with mission success being imperative.
Testing is a fundamental quality check and last line of defense before our products are installed for flight. As an Avionics Test Engineer, you will have the unique opportunity to design and develop test systems that will validate the performance of these components in a cross-disciplinary environment. You will be expected to create new test systems and infrastructure from the ground up including hardware, software, and test sequences to exercise all possible failure modes.
We are looking for people who excel at solving complex problems, maintain a high sense of urgency in their work, and contribute as a team player to build new capabilities and innovate in our testing approach.
