Test Engineer, Avionics (Starship)
SpaceX, Starbase, TX
The role
We are building the highest-volume wire harness production operations in aerospace history to build thousands of Starship vehicles per year. In this role, you will design, build, and scale the test equipment, processes, and automation that sit between harness production and vehicle integration. You’ll create the systems that prove every harness is defect-free and capable of withstanding extreme reuse, directly enabling Starship’s rapid flight cadence and making life multi-planetary.
This is a highly hands-on, multidisciplinary role for someone who enjoys solving problems across electrical, mechanical, and software domains while owning real hardware and seeing their work directly impact vehicles flying to orbit.
What you will do
- Design and develop production test equipment, test racks, and automation systems to verify wire harnesses and electromechanical assembly quality at scale
