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 is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
The Raptor Fleet Operations team is responsible for the fleet of Raptor Engines from the time they leave the factory in Hawthorne until the time they fly. Today, the team is focused on enabling rapid design iteration by taking lessons from flight and engine testing and applying those lessons across the fleet. In the future, the team will begin to focus on developing the processes necessary to maintain a large fleet of engines capable of continuous reuse. As a Propulsion Engineer on this team, you will serve an important role in developing the processes that will be used to maintain the fleet of engines and will be the technical interface between the hardware and RE teams. Engineers in this role demonstrate a very high level of engineering intuition, critical thinking, system level expertise, and are comfortable working under tight deadlines with loosely defined requirements and minimal oversight. Combining these skills, these engineers face challenges across a wide variety of work centers at the company and are at the forefront of developing integration and test processes for current and next generation engines.
