The Starship team supports the mission to revolutionize orbital flight and space travel, opening access for humankind to establish new frontiers in space and ultimately become a multi-planetary species. Our team builds some of the most advanced electronics ever flown in space, at a cost and rate previously considered unthinkable in the space industry. Specifically, the Starship avionics team is responsible for designing a Starship avionics system that is optimized for high reliability at a low mass and cost.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Design custom instrumentation for extreme thermal, dynamic and pressure environments
  • Design integrated product solutions for fluid and electro-mechanical assemblies
  • Participate in the manufacturing line, being hands on with processes including pressure testing, thermal testing, laser welding and more
  • Perform thermal, structural, and tolerance analysis for mechanical assemblies using both hand calculations and finite element analysis
  • Participate in initial mechanical design, 3D modeling, creation of production drawings and maintenance of design data
  • Conduct failure analysis of components as it relates to thermal, loads, vibration and shock
  • Interface with machine shops and production teams to ensure final designs can be produced in accordance with overall project goals
  • Lead design reviews internally and participate in reviews with suppliers and partners

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or electrical engineering

  • Exposure to high volume production designs with a focus on design for manufacturability
  • Exposure to designing for high vibration environments and high pressure environments
  • Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes
  • Working knowledge of thermal and structural FEA studies
  • Experience with fatigue and thermal testing of electro-mechanical assemblies
  • Solid understanding and application of GD&T
  • Experience working with PCB designers and exposure to PCB layout

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:
Mechanical Engineer/Level I: $100,000.00 - $115,000.00/per year
