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

Well, a CNC Machinist at SpaceX is mainly responsible for deburring hardware, inspecting surface finishes and threads, and operating CNC machines to produce flight hardware. They also perform preventative maintenance on machines and manage cutting tools to ensure everything’s ready for production.

Actually, you’ll need at least a high school diploma or an equivalency certificate and a year of experience in manufacturing. If you have more experience, like five years, that’s even better!

So, they prefer candidates who can read blueprints, have a strong mechanical aptitude, and are good at shop math. Interpersonal skills are also important since you’ll be working in a team environment.

Yes, there are! You should be able to lift up to 50 pounds and be comfortable with repetitive movements, bending, and kneeling. Plus, you’ll need to be okay with some noise in the shop.

The pay varies depending on your level of experience. For a Level 1 CNC Machinist, it’s between $23.00 and $27.00 an hour, while Level 2 goes from $26.00 to $32.50, and Level 3 ranges from $31.00 to $38.00 an hour. Your actual pay will depend on your skills and experience.
