Wastewater Technician (Starlink PCB)

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.

WASTEWATER TECHNICIAN (STARLINK PCB)

SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity, including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable. We are looking for talented, creative, and driven technicians to drive manufacturing output and yield. You will have ownership of one or more process areas and will have the opportunity to directly impact Starlink’s products. You will have frequent interaction with engineering teams and leadership and will participate in developing and validating new equipment, processes, and technologies. The success of Starlink depends on the quality, reliability, cost, manufacturability, throughput, security, and user experience of the products that you will manufacture.

As a Wastewater Technician on Starlink PCB, you will take ownership of state-of-the-art production processes and equipment performance and reliability by monitoring process parameters and maintaining components, with a keen eye for leading indicators of instability or malfunction, and a drive to correct those issues in advance of undesirable events. This position is responsible for the development, implementation, and operationalization of equipment, facilities, treatment and manufacturing process technologies necessary for high volume production. By the end of 2025, this will be the largest PCB manufacturing facility, by volume, in North America.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Execute startup and shutdown procedures for production equipment

• Identify equipment and process deviations and perform corrective actions

• Perform necessary interventions to maintain process parameters (this may include chemical analysis, additions, recipe changes, and machine adjustments)

• Troubleshoot, maintain, and calibrate a variety of process equipment including plating, etching stripping, developing, surface treatment, and cleaning equipment

• Work with engineers and technicians to create operating procedures

• Use knowledge of systems and existing documentation like schematics and parts lists to create and maintain a mature and efficient hardware inventory system – including procurement of critical spares

• Identify continuous improvement opportunities for yield, performance, and cost

• Track schedule for and perform preventive maintenance and calibration of equipment and instruments

• Perform dispositions and rework for nonconforming PCBs

• Provide feedback on failure modes and support engineering to drive root cause of yield
