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, troubleshoot, root cause, and improve UPW (ultrapure water) systems,: including reverse osmosis (RO), electrode ionization (EDI), UV disinfection, and filtration
Monitor, troubleshoot, root cause, and improve wastewater treatment: processes, including pH neutralization, evaporators (multiple-effect vacuum and MVR units), clarification/precipitation and solids dewatering, AOP (advanced oxidation processes), crystallizers, and a variety of other processes (TMF, UF, etc.)
Perform routine preventative maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting on: pumps, valves, sensors, membranes, and control systems; help to define maintenance schedules and support activities
Define daily water quality sampling, analysis (e.g., TOC, silica, metals,: conductivity), and data logging requirements and tools needed to do them, like Hach analyzers or similar
Respond to alarms, investigate excursions, and implement corrective actions: to minimize downtime (target: >99.9% system availability)
Collaborate with manufacturing, EHS, and engineering teams to optimize water: usage, reduce waste, and implement sustainability initiatives
What they're looking for
- Ensure adherence to OSHA, EPA, and SpaceX safety protocols, including: lockout/tagout (LOTO) and chemical handling
- Identify equipment and process deviations and perform corrective actions
- Work with engineers and technicians to create operating procedures
- Use knowledge of systems and existing documentation like schematics and parts: lists to create and maintain a mature and efficient hardware inventory system – including procurement of critical spares
