About the Job

Requirements

  • A high school diploma or equivalency certificate is required.
  • At least 5 years of hands-on experience in quality, inspection, or manufacturing is required.
  • Must be willing to work first- or second-shift hours, overtime, and weekends as needed.
  • Must be able to lift at least 25 pounds unassisted.
  • Must be able to travel for short and extended trips as needed, up to 10%.
  • Must qualify for U.S. export authorization as a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or be eligible to obtain the required U.S. Department of State authorizations.

Responsibilities

  • Sustain and increase scope in production areas.
  • Propose and support implementation of inspection-process changes that reduce processing time without sacrificing quality or reliability.
  • Research, prototype, and implement inspection tools meeting design and business requirements for safety, quality, cost, and delivery.
  • Improve inspection efficiency by identifying high-variance processes and standardizing or simplifying inspection approaches and acceptance criteria.
  • Collaborate with inspectors, engineers, and shop subject-matter experts to solve large-scale production challenges caused by inspection bottlenecks.
  • Streamline and simplify inspection data-collection requirements.
  • Develop training to enable higher-quality and more efficient inspections.
  • Collect and analyze team feedback to identify opportunities to improve inspection processes.
  • Design, set up, and install tooling and fixtures on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) for advanced inspection requirements.
  • Develop and optimize advanced CMM programs using Calypso software for complex flight-hardware geometries.
  • Train and mentor inspectors and engineers on advanced geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) interpretation and application per ASME Y14.5.

Desired Qualifications

  • Understanding of basic and advanced geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5.
  • Hands-on experience developing or prototyping new inspection tools.
  • Experience with coordinate measuring machine (CMM) operations.
  • Ability to obtain CMM Programming levels 1–3.
  • Advanced CMM programming, including expert-level programming and optimization of complex geometries.
  • Proficiency with Calypso CMM software.
  • Ability to develop and validate advanced inspection programs for flight hardware.
  • Experience designing, setting up, and installing tooling and fixtures on CMMs.
  • Ability to train and mentor others in GD&T interpretation and application.
  • Familiarity with quality tools such as lean principles, design of experiments, root cause analysis and corrective action, metrology, process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA), control plans, and problem-solving approaches.
  • Comfort working with flight-quality hardware in a fast-paced and changing environment.

About the Company

SpaceX

Builds rockets and runs Starlink satellite internet

SpaceX builds and launches reusable rockets and spacecraft for NASA, the military, and companies, and it runs Starlink, a satellite internet service for homes and businesses. In 2020, its Dragon capsule became the first privately built spacecraft to carry astronauts to the International Space Station. Its Falcon 9 rocket lands its first stage so the booster can fly again, which cuts launch costs, while Starlink beams internet from low-orbit satellites to small dishes for a monthly fee. SpaceX also owns xAI, maker of the Grok chatbot and owner of the social network X, and is building Starship, a fully reusable rocket meant to carry people to the Moon and Mars. Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, and it is based in Starbase, Texas.
