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 integration and commissioning of vendor/OEM equipment into: centralized SCADA software (Ignition) and production line controls
Perform safe controls and electrical work within LOTO, arc-flash, guarding,: interlock, robot/AGV, bypass-control, and restart-verification requirements; identify hazards, verify zero energy, validate safety devices after repair, and escalate unsafe conditions or unauthorized changes
Maximize uptime of automation assets through hands-on troubleshooting, basic: repairs, and corrective actions on electromechanical, robotic, pneumatic, and control systems
Wire, commission, validate, build, and maintain industrial control panels and: field devices to NFPA 79 & UL 508A standards; replace like-for-like components (power supplies, relays, fuses, terminal blocks, sensors, etc.), restore wiring condition, and create accurate redlines
