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 and specify mechanical cooling systems for data center facilities: chilled water plants, CRAH/CRAC units, air handling units, and cooling towers
Own plumbing system design: domestic water, sanitary, storm drainage, makeup water, and process piping for cooling systems
Evaluate and specify facility liquid cooling infrastructure (direct-to-chip,: rear-door heat exchangers, immersion cooling)
Perform heat load calculations, airflow modeling, and capacity planning to ensure design requirements are met
Develop piping design, pump sizing, and hydraulic calculations for chilled water and condenser water loops
Review and coordinate mechanical/plumbing drawings with architectural,: electrical, structural, and fire protection disciplines
What they're looking for
- Support commissioning of mechanical systems: functional performance testing, integrated systems testing (IST), and level 5 commissioning for critical cooling infrastructure
- Work directly with equipment vendors (chillers, CRAH units, pumps, cooling: towers) on technical specifications and factory witness testing
- Troubleshoot operational issues in existing facilities: water treatment, pump cavitation, control valve failures, capacity shortfalls
- Support due diligence and technical evaluation for new site selection,: including utility water availability and existing mechanical infrastructure condition
