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
Support the EHS Business Operations team in administering the electrical: safety program in accordance with NFPA 70E, including shock protection, arc-flash protection, energized electrical work permits, approach boundaries, and electrically safe work conditions
Develop, maintain, and control lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures,: switching-order templates, and live-dead-live verification practices for switchgear, motor control centers, transformers, automatic transfer switches (ATS), generators, distribution equipment, and production and ground-support loads
Coordinate arc-flash hazard analysis and incident energy studies (IEEE 1584),: maintain equipment-labeling standards, and define PPE categories, working distances, and restricted/limited approach boundaries for AC and DC systems, including outdoor installations
Support qualification, training, and audit of electrical workers as NFPA 70E: Qualified Persons; develop electrical safety training content and tracking for operators, technicians, contractors, and construction partners
Maintain the review and approval process for energized work, electrical: switching, and commissioning procedures; define the criteria EHS uses to stop work when conditions do not meet electrically safe work practice requirements
Maintain standards for grounding, bonding, equipotential bonding, lightning: protection, and power quality monitoring so equipment damage and personnel injury are prevented
What they're looking for
- Document and maintain generator, ATS, and backup-power transfer expectations: for personnel safety during planned and unplanned transfers, including black-start, paralleling, and restoration during utility outages, storms, and site operations
- Partner with design, construction, and commissioning teams on behalf of EHS: Business Operations to integrate electrical safety into new builds and expansions: one-line diagrams, protective device coordination, short-circuit studies, temporary power, and construction LOTO across production, test, and launch areas
- Run structured risk assessments of electrical systems, including Failure Mode: and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and electrical hazard assessments for medium- and low-voltage distribution, classified hazardous locations, and high-energy equipment, and feed results into EHS risk and action tracking
- Support investigation of electrical incidents, near misses, shock events, and: arc-flash events; track root-cause analysis and corrective actions to closure
