Tooling Engineer, AI Satellites (Starmind)

<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">TOOLING&nbsp;ENGINEER,&nbsp;AI SATELLITES&nbsp;(STARMIND)</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">SpaceX is&nbsp;leveraging&nbsp;its experience deploying and&nbsp;operating&nbsp;the world’s largest satellite constellation to develop&nbsp;Starmind, a new constellation of satellites capturing solar energy in space to power low-cost, high-performance AI compute for Earth. Realizing this vision demands&nbsp;highly reliable,&nbsp;high performance&nbsp;electrical&nbsp;compute&nbsp;hardware, solar power systems, thermal radiators, and more. These systems must&nbsp;operate&nbsp;in the extreme environment of space while delivering the connectivity, control, power distribution, and processing needed for orbital AI inference.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The Starmind team designs, builds, and operates the orbital compute fabric of the future. We develop nearly every key piece of technology in house – from the satellites’ flight computers and power systems to the fully custom compute electronics, memory, and networking that form the brain of our on-orbit data centers. As a Tooling Engineer on the Starmind team, you’ll have ownership over the entire manufacturing line for the hardware that enables advanced on-orbit AI processing and data center workloads. Your work spans the assembly, integration, and testing of industry-leading compute electronics, memory, and networking in order to achieve required domain sizes and processing workloads.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">RESPONSIBILITIES:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Develop machining capability in-house for the tool &amp; die team and deliver high-quality precision piece parts&nbsp;required&nbsp;to build internal tooling</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Analyze piece parts and assemblies for DFM to ensure that the parts are&nbsp;optimized&nbsp;for manufacturing and assembly</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Create collaborative business plans with design engineering, upstream&nbsp;production, and&nbsp;support teams and develop and&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;positive supplier/customer relationships</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Work between manufacturing and design engineers, machinists, technicians, and quality personnel to ensure processes are robust and any production problems are quickly solved</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Implement machining process controls that allow parts to run ‘lights out’.&nbsp;Leverage&nbsp;latest technologies and programming strategies to reduce in-cycle intervention</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Identify, recommend,&nbsp;procure, and install machine shop equipment as well as ensure all equipment is thorough
