Job description

from SpaceX careers

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.

DATA & CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGINEER (STARSHIP LAUNCH PAD)

This engineer is a systems-focused, automation-driven, multi-faceted individual. The engineer uses electrical and mechanical systems knowledge to primarily inform the design of launch infrastructure for the Starship Launch Vehicle. SpaceX control engineers develop and integrate physical hardware, including wire harnesses, PCBs, custom enclosures, PLCs, data acquisition systems, avionics systems, engine controllers, and various sensors. The engineer is responsible for the transference of real-time data from these physical sensors to the pad operators, the responsible engineer, or the customer. Excellent operational support and accurate interpretation of data collected from these test systems are paramount. These critical automation & control systems support operations that enable safe, economical, and reliable access to space. This position is based in Cape Canaveral, FL (Kennedy Space Center).

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Design and build the controls infrastructure to support the various types of ground support equipment required to test and launch the Starship Launch Vehicle
  • Maintain the operational capability of all control voltage levels (<60V) electrical systems once activated
