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.

EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARSHIP)

As Starship production continues to push new bounds in order to satisfy the growing demands of the space industry, the complex and ever-evolving critical equipment required to build, integrate, and test our products must work harder than ever. Equipment Reliability Engineers hold the keys to the production machine; they not only help identify some of the most risk-heavy SpaceX production assets, but they technically diagnose, advise, implement, and execute a strategic path forward at the equipment-level to promote system reliability, minimize losses, and maximize critical asset efficiencies.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own equipment improvement plans for maintenance strategies and equipment availability to maximize production equipment availability
Define, develop, and refine equipment reliability programs that include:
- Preventive maintenance tasks performed by machine operators and experienced maintenance technicians
- Comprehensive BOM development and selection of critical spare parts
- Integration of existing equipment into SpaceX Internet of Things (IoT) to enable real time performance monitoring
- Design and integration of new sensors onto machines to set predictive and condition-based monitoring triggers
- Iterative design improvements
Develop engineering solutions to repetitive or high consequence failures on critical equipment through Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Conduct Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to create proactive reliability programs for critical equipment
Coordinate cross-functionally to drive process improvements, design iterations and complete equipment overhauls
Integrate with internal tooling, automation and production teams to ensure maintainability of design is incorporated into new internally designed equipment
Develop and implement maintenance and reliability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to drive equipment improvements and organizational efficiency
Support onboarding and commissioning of newly purchased or fabricated equipment; release reliability programs prior to equipment entering production
Provide technical support to production, maintenance management and technical personnel
Manage production requests for asset improvements and data collection

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
1+ years of experience in manufacturing, reliability, or operations

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

5+ years of experience in a maintenance engineering role and reliability in a high-volume manufacturing, testing or operational environment
Hands-on experience with equipment control systems, machinery, tooling and industrial automation
Developed understanding of mechanical, fluid, and electrical component functions
Experience using Microsoft SQL and PowerBI
Ability to read and understand equipment schematics, P&ID, GD&T and OEM manuals
Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing and test equipment; CNC, SMT, 3D printing, robotics, tooling, furnaces, chillers, etc.
Experience working with CMMS programs such as Maximo, SAP, Infor
Basic understanding of maintenance and reliability KPIs; OEE, MTBF, MTTR
Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
Detail oriented, organized, and able to demonstrate a high sense of urgency

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range:
Equipment Reliability Engineer/Level I: $100,000.00 - $115,000.00/per year
Equipment Reliability Engineer//Level II: $110,000.00 - $135,000.00/per year
