What is the difference between Commission Mechanical Test Engineer vs Mechanical Test Engineer?

AspectCommission Mechanical Test EngineerMechanical Test Engineer
CertificationsOften requires mechanical testing certifications, engineering degreesSimilar certifications, often with additional specialization
Work EnvironmentPrimarily on-site during commissioning phases, testing equipment and systemsIn labs or testing facilities, focusing on product or component testing
Industry UsageUsed during project commissioning in industries like manufacturing, energy, aerospaceUsed throughout product development, testing, and quality assurance

The main difference is that a Commission Mechanical Test Engineer focuses on testing and verifying mechanical systems during the commissioning phase of projects, ensuring systems operate correctly before full deployment. In contrast, a Mechanical Test Engineer generally works on testing components or products during development and quality control stages. Both roles require similar skills and certifications but differ mainly in their work phase and environment.

Job description

THERMAL MECHANICAL TEST ENGINEER, SILICON PACKAGING (STARLINK)

SpaceX is leveraging our experience building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world's largest satellite constellation and most advanced broadband internet system. We provide reliable and fast internet to millions of users worldwide, including populations with little or no connectivity, rural communities, aircraft, watercraft, and places where existing services are unreliable, too expensive, or disconnected by natural disasters. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system, thousands of satellites and consumer dishes that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing. The Starlink team is seeking out the best-in-class professionals to maximize Starlink's potential for communities and businesses around the globe.

As a Thermal Mechanical Test Engineer for Silicon Packaging at SpaceX, you will develop and execute thermal and mechanical modeling and test programs for advanced semiconductor packaging and board-level assemblies. You will support the silicon packaging process engineering organization by characterizing package and board thermal performance, validating mechanical robustness, and correlating simulation results with physical test data to enable high-volume production of reliable Starlink hardware. 

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

  • Develop and run thermal and mechanical finite element models, and thermal simulations, to predict package and board-level behavior under operational and environmental conditions 
  • Develop process models to support new production line bring-up and investigations into packaging processes 
  • Design, set up, and execute thermal and mechanical test campaigns 
  • Perform board-level thermal characterization and testing to evaluate heat spreading, junction temperatures, and system-level thermal performance 
  • Operate and maintain thermal and mechanical test equipment, such as thermal chambers, along with instrumentation, including thermocouples and infrared cameras 
  • Analyze test data, correlate models with empirical results, and provide actionable feedback to packaging, silicon design, and manufacturing teams 
  • Support new package and board designs through test planning, execution, and data reporting 
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with packaging process engineers, hardware design teams, production operations, and quality to integrate test insights into product development and production ramp 

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: 

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering, math, or science discipline
  • 1+ years of experience with thermal or mechanical modeling and testing in an industry or academic setting

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Bachelor's in mechanical engineering, materials science, aerospace engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or other STEM discipline
  • Advanced degree in an engineering, math, or science discipline
  • Experience with board-level thermal testing and characterization using thermocouple mapping, power dissipation testing, or infrared thermography 
  • Experience using finite element analysis or thermal simulation tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, Flotherm, or Icepak 
  • Experience with 3D and reduced-order thermal and mechanical modeling 
  • Experience correlating simulation models with physical test data 
  • Experience in simulation and characterization of IC packaging thermal resistance parameters 
  • Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for data analysis and post-processing 
  • Background in semiconductor packaging or high-reliability electronics environments 
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing or new product introduction setting 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: 

  • Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines
