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
Work closely with test engineers, stand crews, and technician teams to: perform detailed safety reviews of complex hazardous operations (hot fire, propellant loading, pressurization, ordnance, cryogenics, and post-test recovery) to ensure safe execution.
Lead or assist in all aspects of incident investigations, including initial: follow-up, root cause analysis, and corrective action development and closure; enter events in Safety Net and drive closure with operations leadership.
Collaborate with department leadership to complete job hazard assessments and: implement health and safety policies and procedures for Merlin, Raptor, fabrication, civil/construction, and support shops.
Implement and develop safety and health programs including but not limited to: OSHA general industry and construction standards; HAZCOM, hazmat, cryogenics, compressed gases, and rocket propellants (LOX, RP-1, methane); confined space, fall protection, lock-out/tag-out, hot work, and fire watch; powered industrial trucks, aerial lifts, cranes/rigging, and heavy equipment; and radiation and laser safety as applicable to test and shop operations.
Develop safety solutions that resolve EHS hazards/concerns within cost and: schedule constraints following a safety order of precedence to include elimination, substitution, engineering controls, work practice controls, training, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure that safety of personnel, property, and the environment are within acceptable risk boundaries.
Monitor employee and non-employee worker exposure to physical and chemical: hazards; recommend and implement controls to eliminate exposure.
What they're looking for
