Sr. Equipment Reliability Engineer

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 ofenabling human life on Mars.

EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY ENGINEER - AUTOMATION & CONTROLS (STARSHIP)As Starship production continues to push new bounds in order to satisfy the growing demands of the space industry, the complex and ever-evolving critical equipment required to build, integrate, and test our products must work harder than ever.
Equipment Reliability Engineers hold the keys to the production machine; they not only help identify some of the most risk-heavy Space X production assets, but they technically diagnose, advise, implement, and execute a strategic path forward at the equipment-level to promote system reliability, minimize losses, and maximize critical asset efficiencies.
RESPONSIBILITIES: Design, develop, and deploy a reliability SCADA system for the Starship manufacturing reliability to: Integrate deployed equipment into Space X Internet of Things (Io T) to enable real time performance monitoring, ticket generation, and more Enable setting predictive and condition-based monitoring triggers Drive investigations & own design improvements for all starship manufacturing tooling, with a heavy focus on electrical/automation Lay out new industrial electrical control panels that are NFPA79/NEC/UL508 A compliant and create electrical, pneumatic, and fluid schematics Own equipment improvement plans for maintenance strategies and equipment availability to maximize production equipment availability Develop engineering solutions to repetitive or high consequence failures on critical equipment through Root Cause Analysis (RCA)Generate aesthetically simple HMI screens for complex machinery while providing sufficient feedback for troubleshooting Conduct Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to create proactive reliability programs for critical equipment Coordinate cross-functionally to drive process improvements, design iterations and complete equipment overhauls Integrate with internal tooling, automation and production teams to ensure maintainability of design is incorporated into new internally designed equipment Develop and implement maintenance and reliability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to drive equipment improvements and organizational efficiency Provide technical support to production, maintenance management, and technical personnel BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline5+ years of experience in manufacturing, reliability, or operations PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Developed understanding of mechanical, fluid, and electrical component functions Experience using Microsoft SQL and Power BIAbility to read and understand equipment schematics, P&ID, GD&T and OEM manuals Basic understanding of maintenance and reliability KPIs; OEE, MTBF, MTTRDetail oriented, organized, and able to demonstrate a high sense of urgency Process integration and electromechanical/mechatronic systems experience Experience in a variety of robotic weld applications (Kuka, ABB & Fanuc)Electrical schematic CAD experience using EPlan.
PLC programming experience, preferably Siemens TIA Portal & Beckhoff Twin CAT 3 HMI and SCADA programming experience Field bus networks, serial communication and Ethernet communication Hands-on experience building and commissioning high quality electrical control panels and electro-mechanical systems Knowledge of NEC, NFPA 79, UL508 A codes Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal Experience in fast-paced iterative design and manufacturing environments Experience solving complex problems with little to no supervision, on schedule, as an individual or as a member of an integrated team ADDITIONAL REQUIERMENTSPhysical effort including standing, lifting, and carrying equipment up to 30 lbs.
