About the job
At SpaceX, we believe that a future where humanity explores the stars is far more exhilarating than one where we remain earthbound. We are actively developing the technologies needed to make interplanetary travel a reality, with the ultimate aim of establishing human life on Mars.
THERMAL HARDWARE ENGINEER (STARSHIP)
The Starship program demands a highly effective Thermal Protection System (TPS) capable of enduring the extreme heat generated during atmospheric reentry at hypersonic velocities. Our thermal hardware team is tasked with the design, analysis, integration, and ongoing enhancement of Starship's reentry heat shield and structural components. As a Thermal Hardware Engineer, you will spearhead the development of cutting-edge heat shield technology, guiding it from initial concept and detailed mechanical design through thermal-structural modeling, qualification testing, production, integration, and post-flight data-driven enhancements. At our Starbase facility, you will thrive in a vibrant environment, balancing your time between the office and the production floor to ensure the delivery of a meticulously engineered product and the ultimate success of our missions.
