About the role
SpaceX is seeking a Sr. Tooling Designer for Investment Casting, to own the design and development of wax injection molds and ceramic core injection molds used to produce turbine blades and vanes. This role is critical to scaling reliable, high-performance cast components. You will design complex tooling that must repeatedly deliver extremely tight tolerances and intricate internal cooling geometries while supporting aggressive rate and cost targets. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional experience designing high-precision injection molds for wax patterns AND ceramics
- 3+ years of feasibility for wax patterns AND ceramics
- Experience with Siemens NX
- Willingness to work extended hours and weekends when required to support hardware delivery and production campaigns
- Must be willing to travel (up to 25%) to external suppliers and other SpaceX facilities
More about this role
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.
