Job description

DEVELOPMENT TEST ENGINEER, BATTERY (STARSHIP ELECTRONICS) 

Join the Starship Electronics team to characterize and qualify batteries cell technologies for our next negation vehicles. Working in concert with the Inverter and Battery design teams, you will identify the operating environment under which cells need to perform, often pushing the hard past its rated capabilities to failure. In this role, you will perform a variety of testing from purely electrical such as EIS, to multi-displinary setups such as thermal runaway testing.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Create test stand concepts, fabrication drawings, wiring schematics, and instrumentation lists
  • Write automation and analysis software to collect and interpret data from the variety of setups
  • Supervise the integration of test stands including fabrication, mechanical assembly, and data/control systems
  • Operate test stands with great attention to detail as the tests have very little margin for error, making attention to detail crucial and essential
  • Work with REs to fully understand the parameters under which their hardware needs to operate
  • Work closely with and consistently provide feedback to responsible design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and test lab teams to drive innovation in design and infrastructure to increase product reliability

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or an engineering discipline
  • 1+ years of experience with electronic hardware development or software development (academic projects, internships, and traditional professional experience all qualify)
  • 1+ years of programming experience using Python, MATLAB, or Embedded C/C++

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Electrical circuit design and manufacturing including layout
  • Solid modeling experience with parametric CAD
  • Proficient with programming languages, especially python
  • High attention to detail when designing and operating complex tests
  • A desire to learn about battery cell failure modes

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Must be able to work extended hours and weekend when necessary
  • Ability to lift heavy harnesses and fixtures (~50 lbs)

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range:       

Level I: $100,000.00 - $115,000.00/per year            

Level II: $110,000.00 - $135,000.00/per year           

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Employees accrue paid sick leave pursuant to Company policy which satisfies or exceeds the accrual, carryover, and use requirements of the law.
