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
Monitor the ASU via distributed control system/human-machine interface and: conduct thorough field rounds, identifying equipment and process deviations early and reporting them immediately
Troubleshoot, maintain, and support calibration of critical ASU equipment: including centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, turboexpanders, cryogenic distillation columns, molecular sieve beds, gas analyzers, control valves, and instrumented electrical systems.
Execute plant startups, shutdowns, mode changes, and abnormal situation: response in accordance with approved operating procedures and alarm response matrices.
Collect process samples, perform basic field testing, log operational data: accurately, and report deviations immediately.
Work with engineers, Lead Operations Specialists, technicians, and: fabricators to implement fluid, mechanical, and control system designs and improvements in the field.
Partner with the engineering team to develop, review, and refine operating: procedures, checklists, and troubleshooting guides grounded in cryogenic physics and first principles.
What they're looking for
- Execute lockout/tagout (LOTO), permit-to-work, job hazard analyses, and all: Process Safety Management (PSM) activities with absolute discipline.
- Maintain rigorous 5S standards, housekeeping, and visual management so the: ASU is the cleanest and best-organized area at Starbase—reflecting pride of ownership.
- Coordinate across disciplines to ensure resources, spares, and support are: available; support critical spares inventory and reliability efforts.
- Learn and master standard operating procedures for all major ASU systems: while continuously deepening understanding of cryogenic thermodynamics, distillation theory, adsorption physics, and equipment performance maps.
