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.
ASSOCIATE ENGINEER – POST GRAD SUMMER 2018 (MCGREGOR)
As an Associate Engineer - Post Grad, you will be responsible for both autonomously and collaboratively working on actual space hardware development projects. You will be challenged to think creatively, independently, and intellectually to design hardware, gaining invaluable hands-on technical experience. This is not an ordinary “internship” – you will be given as much responsibility as our full-time engineers and will be an integral part of the team. We will rely on you to come up with creative solutions to real aerospace challenges and depend upon your contributions to space hardware development projects. SITE OVERVIEW
SpaceX tests its engines and structures at a 4,000-acre state-of-the-art rocket development facility in McGregor, Texas. Every Merlin engine that powers the Falcon 9 rocket and every Draco thruster that controls the Dragon spacecraft is tested on one of 11 test stands. The Falcon 9 first stage is tested with all nine Merlin engines firing at 1.71 million pounds of thrust for up to three minutes—the same as actual flight duration. In addition, the facility is home to a dual Merlin test stand consisting of two independent engine testing bays, allowing SpaceX to test up to 400 Merlin engines a year. Established in 2003, the site now averages two tests per day. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Completed a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year university or college within the past 6 months by start of employment or currently enrolled in a graduate program. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
GPA of 3.5 or higher. Hands-on experience through lab research, project teams, prior internship, or work experience. Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively in a team environment, accomplishing tasks with limited resources at a rapid pace. Intermediate skill level using Windows Operating Systems. Intermediate skill level using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook). ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Must be able to work full time for a minimum of 12 consecutive weeks beginning in May/June 2018. Must pass background check with satisfactory results to SpaceX. Must be able to provide own transportation to access SpaceX’s Rocket Development facility. General physical fitness; flight hardware is typically built in tight quarters and physical dexterity is required. Physical effort including sitting or standing for extended periods of time, lifting and carrying weight such as materials or equipment (up to 30 lbs.). Work performed in an environment with exposure to fumes, odors, and noise. Occasionally exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments (heat, cold, rain). ITAR REQUIREMENTS
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
