Structures Design Engineer (Starship)

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. STRUCTURES DESIGN ENGINEER (STARSHIP) The structures design engineer is responsible for designing and building flight hardware such as propellant tanks, integration interfaces, primary structures, and structural subassemblies. You will be empowered to make real-time decisions, solve complex problems on the fly, and own end-to-end processes. The role will require the readiness to develop subject matter expertise in design for manufacturability, specifically those related to sheet metal and subassembly design and fabrication. If you are ready to be a hardware owner, eager to get out from behind a desk, and be hands-on working alongside a world-class production team, this may be the right role for you. RESPONSIBILITIES: Design metallic structures and propulsion fluid systems under accelerated timelines Review specifications and other engineering data to develop mechanical systems Update designs and drawings through engineering change orders to support SpaceX's rapid pace of design iteration Create detailed component and assembly drawings incorporating an understanding of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline 1+ years of mechanical design and drafting experience (including internships or personal projects) Experience with 3D CAD software (NX, Solidworks, etc) PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Solid understanding and application of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups Hands-on experience working in school club or project teams designing hardware in a highly constrained system under defined timelines Familiarity with sheet metal design, welded structures, and fluid systems Ability to manage large assembly models and drawings Ability to work and c
