About the role
SpaceX in Redmond, WA is seeking a Mechanical Engineer for the Optics, Satellites (Starlink) program. You will own mechanical and electro-mechanical design from concept through production and on-orbit operation, focusing on precision pointing mechanisms and imaging payloads.
You will work with cross-functional teams to deliver high-bandwidth, flight-ready hardware, perform structural analyses, and drive manufacturability from CAD to flight hardware and test campaigns.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
