Job Description
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.
STARLINK PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE - TEMPORARY
One of the most ambitious missions that SpaceX has undertaken to date, the
Starlink satellite constellation, is our solution to providing reliable internet
to the entire world. We are looking for talented production
associates/assemblers to help establish new manufacturing and test processes and
eventually ramp to full-scale production for the user terminal (a high-volume
manufactured product that consumers will have in their homes).
The success of Starlink depends on the quality, reliability, cost,
manufacturability, throughput, and security of the products that you deliver. If
you seek a fast-paced, dynamic environment; if you thrive on solving difficult
problems where resolutions have high impact; and if you love the challenge of
building something from scratch, then this role will be an ideal next career
step.
