Reliability Engineer (Starlink/Akoustis)

<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. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of&nbsp;enabling human life on Mars.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARLINK/AKOUSTIS)</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">Akoustis is now&nbsp;operating&nbsp;as a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX providing industry leading RF filters using patented XBAW technology to help drive the mission of making human life multi-planetary, while also connecting the world through Starlink. Our work helps further the impact that Starlink is already making for millions of users around the world, while allowing us to broaden that reach dramatically and continue connecting the unconnected here on earth.</span><span data-contrast="auto">&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The Hardware Reliability&nbsp;and Quality&nbsp;Team is an interdisciplinary team that is committed to the reliability of the mechanical and electrical hardware&nbsp;required&nbsp;to connect our customers to our satellites. Your breadth of exposure will span across dozens of areas (mechanical, electrical, RF, software, test, etc.) as you collaborate with core groups at SpaceX to bring hardware from&nbsp;initial&nbsp;concept development to full-scale high-volume production.&nbsp;You will use data to understand the factors that drive process and product reliability in design and manufacturing. You will dive deep into the details to&nbsp;identify, understand, and solve difficult technical problems to influence product design and manufacturing processes. You will be exposed to a hands-on environment that will enable you to spend time on the factory floor and in the test lab to improve the reliability of hardware and, ultimately, the&nbsp;user experience.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">RESPONSIBILITIES:&nbsp;</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="none">Perform hands-on failure analysis to drive root-cause and corrective action of production, test, and on-orbit failures to&nbsp;ultimately improve&nbsp;product reliability, quality, and factory throughput</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Develop,&nbsp;validate, and implement production processes for existing and next-gen hardware with&nbsp;objective&nbsp;of&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;consistent quality and high throughput</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Create data analysis programs to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;production yield, failure rates, and implement statistical process controls</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Conduct regular build quality reviews to ensure that design intent is achieved and well-communicated;&nbsp;identify&nbsp;opportunities for risk reduction, and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Determine&nbsp;the&nbsp;appropriate Quality&nbsp;Management System requirements around traceability, non-conformance, and configuration management for the program</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Define and develop the product qualification’s reliability test plan, monitor, testing,&nbsp;and reporting</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740
