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.

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