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 activate fluids systems for distribution of bulk and: specialty gases, chemicals (e.g., hydrofluoric acid, solvents), exhaust systems, and zero-liquid discharge wastewater plants
Own projects cradle to grave: requirement definition, design, justification of key decisions, equipment procurement, build coordination, commissioning, and project management
Serve as project manager for facility construction, developing and: maintaining schedules, cost estimates, and budgets
Manage in-field construction and contractor relationships as the primary: point of contact for contracted work, with responsibility for safety, schedule, and field coordination; eliminate blockers and drive the critical path
Manage selection, procurement, installation, and activation of bulk storage: tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, gas panels, valves, scrubbers, and abatement systems
Apply fluids and mechanical engineering fundamentals, including P&ID: development, equipment sizing, detailed fluid and thermal analysis, system-level CONOP development, structural analysis, and materials and component selection
What they're looking for
- Perform safety and hazard assessments (e.g., FMEAs, HAZOPs) for hazardous: system design, including emergency shutdown CONOPs, redundancy, and compliance with hazardous material safety standards
- Ensure regulatory compliance with OSHA, EPA, ASME, NFPA, and SEMI standards: for chemical and gas handling, and collaborate with fire and life safety engineers to meet code requirements
- Design, build, and deploy data acquisition and control systems for fluids facility control and monitoring
- Collaborate with process engineers to integrate fluids systems with: manufacturing equipment and optimize delivery rates, purity levels, and recovery and recycling of process fluids for high-yield production
