One of the most ambitious missions that SpaceX has undertaken to date, the Starlink satellite constellation, is our solution to providing reliable internet to the entire world. We are looking for talented manufacturing specialists to help establish new manufacturing and test processes to support Tool and Die. This department is responsible for producing dies (also known as tools or molds) used in processes such as injection molding, high pressure die casting, and stamping. These dies are the building blocks that enable in-house high volume production for user terminal components.
