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
Partner deeply with responsible engineers, energy team and finance: counterparts to co-define long-term gas supply strategy, pipeline infrastructure roadmaps (including new interconnections, dedicated laterals, and capacity expansions), and approved supplier lists for gas producers, midstream operators, and pipeline contractors, anticipating SpaceX's power demand 12–36 months ahead
Own global sourcing and contracting end-to-end for natural gas supply, firm: transportation agreements, storage capacity, pipeline capacity reservations, and associated infrastructure work to deliver >99.9% gas delivery reliability while supporting SpaceX's record-breaking power plant build cadence
Negotiate transformative, long-term commercial agreements and precedent: agreements with gas producers, marketers, interstate/intrastate pipeline operators, and midstream companies; including pricing structures, volume commitments, flexibility clauses, dedicated pipeline buildouts, interconnect rights, and priority capacity during market tightness
Lead pipeline project execution from sourcing through commissioning, working: closely with EPC contractors, regulators, and operators to accelerate timelines for new pipeline infrastructure, while maintaining the highest safety, quality, and environmental standards
Deploy predictive analytics, market intelligence platforms, and AI-driven: demand forecasting to anticipate gas price volatility, supply disruptions, regulatory changes, pipeline constraints, and geopolitical risks, then proactively mitigate these before they impact power generation or cluster deployment
Drive continuous cost leadership through should-cost modeling, structured: pricing agreements, basic risk management, value engineering of pipeline designs, and portfolio optimization while ensuring ultra-high reliability and resilience for SpaceX training clusters
What they're looking for
- Build and maintain strategic partnerships with gas suppliers, pipeline: companies, and midstream operators through executive business reviews, joint development projects, and co-innovation on custom solutions such as high-pressure laterals, advanced metering, low-emission technologies, and rapid-deployment pipeline designs
- Champion sustainability and supply chain ethics initiatives across the full: gas and pipeline value chain, including responsible sourcing, methane emissions reduction programs, lower-carbon intensity supply options, and circular practices for pipeline materials
- Stay at the forefront of natural gas markets, pipeline regulations (FERC,: PHMSA, etc.), LNG trends, midstream infrastructure developments, and behind-the-meter power solutions, then translate these insights into actionable strategies that keep SpaceX's power infrastructure at the bleeding edge of reliability, efficiency, and scalability
- Act as a force multiplier across the organization by mentoring: cross-functional teams on energy supply chain best practices and fostering a culture of ownership, speed, technical depth, regulatory foresight, and relentless optimization
