About this role

Propulsion Engineer, Chamber and Nozzle Manufacturing (Raptor) Hawthorne, CA 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. PROPULSION ENGINEER, CHAMBER AND NOZZLE MANUFACTURING (RAPTOR) SpaceX is seeking an engineer to focus on manufacturing the world's most powerful combustion chamber and nozzle. These components feature some of the most complex geometries in rocket propulsion - including intricate regenerative cooling channels, thin-walled high-temperature alloys, and tight-tolerance surfaces that must survive extreme thermal and pressure cycles across hundreds of reuse cycles. You will design, implement, and scale manufacturing processes that increase production throughput, improve dimensional accuracy and repeatability, and reduce cycle times while maintaining the extreme quality required for Starship. This role combines propulsion engineering knowledge with manufacturing process development and data-driven production. Your work will directly enable rapid iteration and high-volume production of Raptor chambers and nozzles. RESPONSIBILITIES: - Own the fabrication, processes, and assembly of Raptor thrust chamber and nozzle extension hardware, including development and optimization of manufacturing methods for fabrication, joining, finishing, and verification. - Create and refine manufacturing strategies, work instructions, custom fixtures, tooling, and workholding solutions for complex components. - Build and maintain data pipelines that capture manufacturing telemetry to enable statistical process control, predictive analytics, and machine learning models for defect reduction and process optimization. - Partner closely
