About the Role

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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

SpaceXSI is seeking a Plant Technician to support day-to-day operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting at our power generation facility. This is a hands-on role: you will inspect running equipment, respond to issues as they come up, restore systems, and keep generation and balance-of-plant online. You will work across mechanical, electrical, and controls equipment — pumps, piping, chillers, cooling towers, HVAC, generators, motors, water systems, UPS, switchgear, and plant control systems — following procedures and engineering direction in a fast-paced environment. 

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

  • Provide operational and maintenance support for plant mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and process systems, including pumps, piping, chillers, cooling towers, HVAC, generators, motors, water systems, UPS, switchgear, and related balance-of-plant equipment 
  • Perform daily inspections of critical systems, identify issues early, and self-report problems before they affect generation 
  • Troubleshoot and repair operational issues found during normal plant operation, start-up, outages, or commissioning 
  • Adjust, repair, or replace faulty mechanical, electrical, and controls components 
  • Assist with maintenance and troubleshooting of plant control systems, including PLC, HMI, SCADA, and related industrial controls for generation, cooling, power distribution, and safety 
  • Support HMI/interface monitoring and help maintain automated controls for fire protection and emergency shutdown 
  • Write, follow, and execute MOPs, SOPs, and EOPs; support lockout/tagout, hot work, confined space, and site safety and environmental requirements 
  • Identify and maintain spare parts inventory to minimize downtime 
  • Coordinate and support scheduled system shutdowns, outages, and utility events as directed
