About this role

Mechanical Engineer, Mechanisms (Crew Starship) Starbase, TX 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 ENGINEER, MECHANISMS (CREW STARSHIP) After 50 years, humankind will once again return to the surface of the moon using SpaceX's new vehicle, Crew Starship (also known as HLS or the Human Landing System) - this time for good. Starship will usher in the next era of crewed spaceflight and exploration, ultimately allowing us to establish permanent communities on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. As a Mechanical Engineer on the Crew Starship team, you will design and build spacecraft systems that are critical to the success and safety of future astronauts. Disciplines within this team include primary and secondary structures, mechanisms, and crew-interfacing hardware. Your design solutions will be driven by all future Crew Starship missions (Lunar, Mars, etc.). This role requires full hardware ownership, from initial design requirements and concepts all the way through design, analysis, prototype, qualification, and integration. RESPONSIBILITIES: - Own the design, analysis, and manufacturing of next generation structures and mechanisms for Starship vehicles needed for long duration and landing missions (examples include the solar deploy system, landing legs, and lunar elevator) - Perform hand calculations and FEA to develop, assess, and optimize designs - Rapidly iterate on manufacturing processes and development
