Machine Maintenance Engineer, Tool & Die

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.

We are looking for a Machine Maintenance Engineer for the Bastrop Tool and Die shop. This department produces dies (also known as tools or molds) used in injection molding, high pressure die casting, and stamping. Those dies are the building blocks that enable in-house high-volume production for user terminal components.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The Maintenance Engineer is the primary technical resource for maintenance technicians on planned and unplanned repairs, modifications, and upgrades of Tool and Die machine tools and shop equipment.
