What’s SpaceX like in terms of their business, the role, and the work culture?

Well, as a Sr. Metallization Engineer, you’d be leading the production processes for solar cells used in Starlink satellites and Starship missions. You’d work on setting up a new solar cell production plant, which includes everything from designing the layout to commissioning equipment and developing manufacturing processes.

You’d be involved in processes like chemical etching, PVD, metallization, and more. Basically, you’d be optimizing these processes to ensure the solar cells are efficient, reliable, and of high quality for space applications.

You’d be responsible for developing and maintaining manufacturing processes, analyzing production machinery, and even diagnosing manufacturing problems. Plus, you’d need to perform defect analysis to improve yields and develop project plans for new processes or machines.

Absolutely! You’d be working with a small team of engineers and technicians to activate and test machines. Collaboration is key, especially when you’re developing a world-class production team and environment.

The goal is to create high-efficiency solar cells that help provide fast, reliable internet to millions of customers around the world. Your work would directly contribute to the Starlink network, making a real impact on how people connect!
