New Graduate Engineer, Electrical

Overview

Space

X 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 Space

X is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. Our Space

X team is working on the toughest and most audacious projects on our planet: making humanity multiplanetary. As an electrical development engineer on the Space

X team, you will demonstrate extreme ownership through detailed and thorough design, hardware bring-up/characterization/testing, and requirements generation/verification - ultimately seeing your hardware through all aspects of its life cycle. You will work with cross-disciplinary teams and think at a system level to ensure that your design is viable. Development timelines are quick and you will rigorously explore solutions for previously unsolved or unknown problems to push the limits of what is possible through innovation, determination, and teamwork to drive the mission to success.
