Manufacturing Engineer • Entry-Level

Who you are

You hold a Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline and have at least 1 year of hands-on experience driving the design or manufacturing of mechanical components or systems. Your background includes advanced composites manufacturing experience, particularly with 'out of autoclave' prepreg systems, which gives you a solid foundation in the field. You are familiar with NX/Unigraphics and Teamcenter CAD and PDM systems, which are essential for component design and management. Your collaborative spirit allows you to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams, including design, build, and reliability engineers, to ensure efficient production processes.

What you'll do

As a Manufacturing Engineer (Composite Lamination) at SpaceX, you will develop and implement best practices for composite lamination, focusing on generating content with Fibersim and addressing manufacturing defects. You will oversee complex laminate repairs and introduce new technologies to improve parts processing. Your role will involve collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to efficiently build parts on schedule, revising production processes, procedures, equipment, tooling, and layout for Falcon and/or Dragon laminates. You will support design for manufacturing and assembly during new product development cycles, facilitating the production of flight-qualified composite structures while driving an increasing production rate and reducing costs. Additionally, you will resolve complex manufacturing defects and work to eliminate their root causes, ensuring high-quality outputs in line with SpaceX's mission to enable human life on Mars.
