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.
METROLOGY SPECIALIST, SOLAR CELLS (STARLINK) - DAY SHIFT
At SpaceX, we are building the next generation of space infrastructure to enable large-scale AI data centers in orbit. These orbital AI platforms require massive amounts of reliable, high-efficiency solar power to support intensive computing workloads in space. To make this possible, we are standing up one of the largest solar cell manufacturing facilities in the world. We are seeking a Metrology Specialist to maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot metrology tools used to measure cell thickness, sheet resistance, lifetime, efficiency, and other critical parameters.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot metrology equipment including IV testers, photoluminescence (PL) systems, AOI tools, sheet resistance meters, thickness measurement tools, and lifetime testers used throughout solar cell production
Perform routine calibration, verification, and preventive maintenance on tools supporting texturing, PECVD, PVD, metallization, and final testing steps
Monitor metrology data trends, identify deviations, and support root cause analysis to ensure cell parameters (efficiency, Voc, Jsc, fill factor) meet targets
Work closely with engineering teams to develop operating procedures and implement improvements for measurement accuracy and repeatability
Execute startup/shutdown procedures and maintain equipment in ISO-classified cleanroom environments
Support production by performing dispositions on nonconforming cells based on metrology results
Maintain inventory of consumables and critical spares while upholding strict safety and quality standards
Track maintenance activities and present equipment status reports to leadership
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
High school diploma or equivalency certificate
2+ years of experience working in a hands-on technical position OR an associate’s degree in a STEM field
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Experience with metrology or inspection tools in semiconductor, solar, or precision manufacturing environments
Knowledge of optical, electrical, and materials characterization techniques (IV testing, PL, ellipsometry, sheet resistance)
Ability to read P&IDs, schematics, and technical documentation
Experience performing calibrations and maintaining measurement system accuracy in high-volume production
Proficiency with statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis tools
Familiarity with cleanroom protocols and gowning procedures
Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
Experience with lock-out/tag-out, job hazard analysis, and chemical safety protocols
Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools and executing digital work instructions
Demonstrated punctuality, ability to work in a high-stress environment, and flexibility to adjust priorities
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Ability to stand up to 6 hours, lift up to 25 pounds unassisted, and maneuver around equipment in a factory setting
Ability to work in industrial environments with fumes/odors, noise, hazardous chemicals, and confined spaces
Must be available for one of the following AWS shifts (start and end times are approximate):
A Shift – 5:00am-5:00pm, Sunday-Wednesday
B Shift – 5:00am-5:00pm, Wednesday-Saturday
