The posting

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 enabling human life on Mars.

PROPULSION ENGINEER, RAPTOR INTEGRATION

The Raptor Fleet Operations team is responsible for the fleet of Raptor Engines from the time they leave the factory in Hawthorne until the time they fly. Today, the team is focused on enabling rapid design iteration by taking lessons from flight and engine testing and applying those lessons across the fleet. In the future, the team will begin to focus on developing the processes necessary to maintain a large fleet of engines capable of continuous reuse. As a Propulsion Engineer on this team, you will serve an important role in developing the processes that will be used to maintain the fleet of engines and will be the technical interface between the hardware and RE teams.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Systems engineering experience, ability to understand multi-disciplinary integrated systems
  • Experience creating, reading, and interpreting electrical and fluid schematics
  • Experience with integration and testing of propulsion and/or electrical systems
  • Experience in planning and execution of complex test operations
  • Experience developing test software/automation
  • Experience writing test plans, procedures and providing go/no-go judgment and rationale

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Ability to work on ladders, lifts, and at elevated heights (up to 300 feet) with proper PPE
  • Ability to respond to emergencies to support priority projects, missions, and launches
  • Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed based on site operational needs; flexibility is required
  • Must be able to work in extreme outdoor environments when needed – heat, cold, wind, rain, etc.
  • Must be able to work in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, and noise
  • Must be willing to travel to other SpaceX sites when needed (up to 20%)

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
