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

Well, as an Integration & Test Engineer, you’ll be leading the development of manufacturing and test processes for satellite sub-assemblies, like sensors and antennas. You’ll get to work closely with production, design engineering, and supply chain teams to make sure everything runs smoothly and that the hardware is flight-worthy!

You’ll need at least a Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline and a year of experience in mechanical or electromechanical design, testing, or manufacturing. Internships and projects count too, so don’t worry if you’re just starting out!

Absolutely! If you have a Master’s degree or experience with integration and testing of various systems, like propulsion or electrical systems, that’d be a big plus. Also, having experience in a manufacturing environment and being comfortable with documentation can really set you apart.

Yes, you might need to travel to launch sites occasionally, but it’s not a lot—up to about 10% of the time. Just a little adventure to keep things interesting!

The pay range for an Integration & Test Engineer is between $95,000 and $115,000 for Level I, and $110,000 to $130,000 for Level II. Your actual salary will depend on your experience and knowledge, so there’s some flexibility there!
