SpaceX Hardware Development Engineer for microelectronics manufacturing of Starlink hardware at SpaceX. Responsible for managing new product introduction and optimizing manufacturing processes.
Responsibilities
Process engineering position responsible for PCBA/microelectronics manufacturing for Starlink hardware
Manage new product introduction of PCBA/microelectronics assemblies, qualifying new equipment, designing line layout, designing tooling, working closely with design engineers, and driving design for manufacturing (DFM) feedback
Implement, simplify, and automate high reliability manufacturing processes such that the production teams can operate independently of engineering
Identify trends and opportunities for optimizing product output, quality enhancements, and cost of manufacturability
Drive processes for volume production of PCBA/microelectronics including manufacturing execution, nonconforming product management, configuration management, traceability tracking, yield improvement, and process control
Manage work instructions, process documentation, and process training
Qualification
Competency with SQL
Required
Bachelor's degree in science and engineering discipline
1+ years of professional experience in at least one of the following areas: manufacturing process engineering, surface mount technology (SMT), accelerated testing, design for reliability, or PCB design and layout, research and development (R&D)
Preferred
High volume production experience (consumer goods, automotive, etc.) or ramping of a production line as part of a cross-functional team
Hands-on experience working in PCBA/microelectronics/semiconductor manufacturing processes. Knowledge of IPC/JEDEC manufacturing standards
Experience with Statistical Process Control (SPC), Design of Experiments (DOE), and manufacturing metrics (e.g., CPK, yield, OEE) in production environments
Demonstrated track record in developing new processes, improving efficiencies, and successfully transferring to production in a rapidly growing, fast-paced environment
Competency with SQL, Python
Experience with NX or other CAD software
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to work both autonomously and as a team in a highly demanding, fast-paced environment
