The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Design, build, and commission the controls for a 24-lane Gigabay: production tooling, lifts, fixtures, factory services, and the data layer the floor uses.
Bring industrial air separation units online and keep them running. Own the: instrumentation, interlocks, and control narratives for compression, cold box, distillation, storage, and transfer into the propellant farms.
Own controls for heat shield tile manufacturing: thermal process equipment, material handling, inspection, and the data that ties process settings to tile quality.
Stand up new equipment from first power-on through rate production, then own uptime once it is live.
Develop and upgrade data acquisition and control systems as the factory, the: air separation plant, and the tile line change.
Maintain the operational capability of control-voltage (<60V) electrical systems once activated.
What they're looking for
- Turn sensor and PLC data into something operators and responsible engineers can act on the same shift.
- Support controls technicians and the mechanical, facilities, and process: engineers who depend on these systems.
- Design hardware and work methods that cut cost, install time, and the time it takes to recover a down line.
- Analyze data to judge the health of electrical and process systems, and use it to drive the next change.
