Avionics Systems Engineer (Special Programs)

<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">AVIONICS SYSTEMS ENGINEER (SPECIAL PROGRAMS)</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":0,"335559739":80}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As an Avionics Systems Engineer on the Special Programs team, you will architect, integrate, and test the avionics systems for new SpaceX vehicles. Our programs are early in their life cycle, so you will work on the vehicle while the design is still taking shape and see your decisions through integration, test, and launch.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here - we want our engineers to bring fresh ideas from all areas. We look for engineers who love solving problems and seek to make an impact on an inspiring mission. As we expand this team, we're looking for versatile, motivated, and collaborative engineers who are comfortable making decisions without all available data and owning the results through first flight.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">RESPONSIBILITIES:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":200,"335559739":80}">&nbsp;</span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Define avionics architecture and requirements for new vehicles, including power, data, RF, and sensor topologies</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Work directly with other responsible engineers on structures, propulsion, GNC, software, and customer teams to define and close vehicle electrical interfaces</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Design vehicle wiring diagrams and harnesses, and own the electrical integration of avionics boxes, sensors, and actuators into the vehicle</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Perform system-level trades on mass, power, thermal, manufacturability, cost, and schedule to drive design decisions early in the program</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Plan and execute system-level integration and test, including integration lane checkouts and vehicle-level testing, and support hardware-in-the-loop testing with partner teams</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Develop, execute, and document system verification on flight and flight-representative hardware, and validate the as-built vehicle is “go for launch”</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Troubleshoot issues on integrated vehicles and test setups on an aggressive development schedule</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Support launch operations on console, including real-time troubleshooting of the vehicle</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Develop tools and automation for test, analysis, and manipulation of large data sets</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":40}">&nbsp;</span><
