Microelectronics Process Engineer (Optical Products)
About The Position
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. As a Microelectronics Process Engineer for Optical Products, you will develop cutting-edge manufacturing processes for next-generation electro-optic devices which are critical to the success our satellite constellation. You will work closely with design teams (electrical/mechanical), software teams, equipment vendors, and production technicians to take products from NPI to high volume manufacturing. This role covers microelectronics manufacturing processes such as die attach, wire-bond, AOI, and active alignment.
