Job description

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.
MECHANICAL DESIGNER (HVAC)
As a member of the construction and infrastructure team, you will design, build, and activate some of the world's most technically advanced manufacturing facilities. You will be the subject matter expert on all HVAC, compressed air, piping, dust collection and other critical fluid systems at HQ. You will have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to develop novel solutions at the cutting edge of space technology. This role involves design, analysis, testing, and manufacturing of fluids system elements. You will work with other construction engineers, architects and internal customers to support these goals and have the opportunity to drive real global impact, ultimately leading to making life multiplanetary. The position is based in Hawthorne, CA.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Responsible for owning and being the subject matter expert on fluid/HVAC components across campus - compressors, heat exchangers, pumps, valves and dust collection systems.
  • Perform CAD modeling and design of these systems.
  • Perform fluid analyses for pressure balance, component design allowable, and consumables determination.
  • Work with interdisciplinary customers to ensure the component will meet the requirements of production, avionics, GNC, mission operations and other SpaceX programs.
  • Ensure designs are manufacturable and reliable; work with the production team to ensure a smooth transition to a reliable manufacturing process that has minimal design engineering sustainment engineering required.
  • Material selection, sizing and procurement support.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.
  • 1+ years of professional experience working with various fluids components such as valves, pumps, COPVs, compressors, heat exchangers, pressure transducers, or temperature sensors.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Master's degree in an engineering discipline.
  • Hands-on experience with fluid (liquid and/or gas) handling systems.
  • Experience using data acquisition equipment, as well as test instrumentation and control components: pressure transducers, thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors, relays.
  • Experience with HVAC systems and air ducting.
  • Experienced in NX or other CAD packages with a solid understanding and application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5-1994 and tolerance stack-up analysis.
  • Experience with structural analysis methods in order to optimize hardware to strength requirements as well as to evaluate for life and fracture.
  • Experience with pressurized structures and/or lightweight aerospace structures.
  • Ability to work independently.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Willing to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:
Mechanical Engineer/Level I: $100,000.00 - $117,500.00/per year
Mechanical Engineer/Level II: $115,000.00 - $140,000.00/per year
