Development Test Technician (Starship Mechanisms) - Level 4/5

SpaceX · Hawthorne, CA · 3 wk ago
On-siteQuality Assurance$36–$43/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about SpaceX mission, then "DEVELOPMENT TEST TECHNICIAN – LEVEL 4/5" then description of group, responsibilities, basic qualifications, preferred skills and experience, additional requirements, pay range, compensation and benefits, ITAR requirements, EEO statement. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also ITAR requirements maybe considered legal? It's a requirement; it's substantive? It says "To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be ...". That is a requirement, likely should be kept. However it's legal but it's a specific requirement; we can keep as part of Requirements? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. ITAR is legal but it's a specific requirement; not boilerplate? Might be considered legal requirement; but it's specific to the job. I'd keep it as a requirement. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "DEVELOPMENT TEST TECHNICIAN – LEVEL 4/5". Use h3 for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: About the role (intro about SpaceX mission and group). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe basic qualifications). Qualifications? Could combine basic qualifications and preferred skills? The instruction: Use headings as given; we can decide which sections to include. We have: Basic Qualifications (high school diploma, 5+ years experience). Preferred Skills And Experience (list). Additional Requirements (physical, shift, travel). Pay Range (compensation and benefits). Benefits (medical, 401k, vacation, holidays). Schedule? Not explicitly given; mention shift hours, overtime, weekends, travel. That could be Schedule section. But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". We have shift hours etc. So we can include Schedule. We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated. Benefits stated. Schedule: shift hours, overtime, weekends, travel. That's schedule info. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe basic qualifications), Skills (preferred skills and experience), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe Qualifications? Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we have both basic qualifications and preferred skills. Could treat Requirements as basic qualifications, Skills as preferred skills and experience. Additional requirements (physical, shift, travel) could go under Schedule or Requirements? Might be better to put under Schedule (shift, travel) and maybe under Requirements (physical). But we have separate sections: Requirements (basic qualifications), Skills (preferred), Schedule (shift, travel, physical). Benefits, Pay. We must not create heading with filler. Ensure each heading has content. Now format: Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details exactly as given, but we can format as lists. Let's extract content: About the role: The intro: "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. DEVELOPMENT TEST TECHNICIAN – LEVEL 4/5 Development test operations is a fast-paced R&D focused group that supports testing of the latest vehicle and spacecraft designs. Test technicians work closely with test engineers to support fabrication, assembly, and operation of test stands and equipment." We should not repeat job title as heading, but we can include the description after the heading. So About the role paragraph includes that. Responsibilities: list: - Fabricate metallic piece parts to print using machine shop equipment: mill, lathe, etc - Assemble test equipment to print, including on-assembly fabrication operations: precision match drilling, welding, riveting, etc - Assemble large mechanical assemblies that require strategic part manipulation and heavy lift operations and equipment - Fabricate and assemble high-pressure pneumatic and hydraulic fluid systems, including bending/flaring/assembling of stainless steel and flexible tubing We need to keep exactly as given. Basic Qualifications (Requirements): - High school diploma or equivalency certificate - 5+ years of experience in mechanical fabrication Preferred Skills And Experience (Skills): - Positive attitude and able to work well on a team - Able to work independently and efficiently with minimal supervision - Able to stay organized with strong attention to detail - Able to read mechanical and engineering drawings and interpret tolerances (including GD&T) - Able to read and interpret fluid or electrical schematics - Skilled with mechanical hand tools - Knowledge/experience with AN, MS, MP, and Swagelok fluid connections - Knowledge/experience with cryogenic systems (gaseous and liquid) - Knowledge/experience working with electrical components and systems - Experience lifting, rigging, and preparing for heavy crane operations of complicated parts - Proficient computer skills; comfortable with using email and the Microsoft Office suite Additional Requirements (could be part of Schedule or Requirements). Let's list: - Able to work at elevated heights occasionally (scissor lifts and articulated boom lifts) - Physical effort including standing, lifting, and carrying equipment up to 30 lbs. unassisted - Able to work in outdoor environments as needed - Ability to work all required shift hours, including overtime and weekends when needed - Willing to travel for short trips as needed, up to 10% travel Pay Range: Provided under COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: - Development Test Technician/Level 4: $36.00 - $43.00/hour - Development Test Technician/Level 5: $41.00 - $51.00/hour - Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience. - Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. - You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. - You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. - You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. ITAR Requirements: "To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C.1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C.1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here." We should keep that as a requirement maybe under Requirements or a separate section? There's no heading for Legal; but we can include under Requirements as a bullet. We must not include EEO statement. Now we need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications + ITAR?), Skills (preferred skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (additional requirements). Could also have Qualifications but we already have Requirements and Skills. We must not create heading with filler. Ensure each heading has content. Let's craft HTML:
