About this role
Sr. Propulsion Design Engineer (Raptor Engine Systems) 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. SR. PROPULSION DESIGN ENGINEER (RAPTOR ENGINE SYSTEMS) The Raptor Systems Design team is seeking a senior engineer to own the definition, enforcement, and validation of engine design criteria-closing the loop between design, test, analysis, and build. You will manage requirements for the world's most advanced rocket engine, ensure they cascade effectively to subsystems, and verify they're met through rigorous testing and analysis. You will maintain and improve department-wide design documentation (including DCRs, PDRs, CDRs), drive corrective actions on deficiencies, and uphold best practices in design, development, and production. You will track the overall health of design criteria for the engine, report risks and gaps to leadership, and lead cross-team efforts to resolve issues in ways that benefit the entire program. This role requires a self-directed engineer with hardware ownership experience, exceptional communication skills, and a strong background in CAD, structural design, and fluid systems. The ideal candidate will have a track record of successfully driving large, multi-team initiatives. Experience working with rocket engines in both development and production environments is a plus. Your work will directly ensure that Raptor is ready to be the rocket engine that makes life multiplanetary. RESPONSIBILITIES: - Partner with
