Sr. Tooling Designer, Injection Molding

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. SR. TOOLING DESIGNER, INJECTION MOLDING SpaceX is leveraging its experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 10M+ users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact. As we continue to upgrade and expand the constellation, we’re looking for best-in-class engineers to join the team. As part of the materials engineering team, you will provide expertise and capabilities to developing processes for the production of plastic injection molds. You will make an impact on SpaceX’s Starlink product components alongside a strong group of mechanical and process engineers. The goal of the team is to develop new manufacturing methods, commission equipment and qualify processes to be introduced into production. RESPONSIBILITIES: Own parting line development and surfacing of in-house molds and components Responsible for all design for manufacturability (DFM) studies on plastic injection molded components Own and manage the feasibility and surfacing of critical mold components Interpret mold filling simulations and cooling analyses to drive feasibility and tool design Design tools to be manufactured in-house Support external tool designs and attend mold trials at vendor shops Ensure designs are safe, effective, and manufacturable BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: 5+ years of professional experience as
