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.

SR. ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER

We are building Terafab, a vertically integrated semiconductor factory at an unprecedented scale. The facility houses logic, memory, packaging, test, and lithography mask production under one roof, optimized for rapid iteration and maximum compute density per square foot. Additionally, the campus will include power generation and compute testing facilities that will enable fully optimized development, operation, and testing of the fabrication facility and its products.

This position requires a dedicated environmental professional who will be able to use their skill, knowledge, and experience to further our Environmental Health and Safety programs within our fast-paced work environment that includes operations that have never been attempted before. You will bring deep experience in environmental compliance as it relates to construction and manufacturing operations, and preferably with experience in the semiconductor or power generation sectors. You will have the opportunity to build an environmental compliance program for the site from the ground up as it evolves, and success depends on clear communication, strong cross-functional influence, and the ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-change environment.

  • Assist the Environmental Health and Safety team with site operational compliance as needed
  • Assist in planning for changes in physical facilities, reviewing new or modified equipment and new manufacturing programs to meet regulatory and permitting requirements
  • Develop and maintain positive relationships with federal, state, and county regulators
  • Develop and maintain positive and close working relationships with engineering teams across the site

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree
  • 5+ years of professional experience in the design, development, and execution of environmental and regulatory compliance programs

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering with an emphasis in environmental engineering
  • Experience in environmental field with 10+ years of environmental and regulatory compliance in a dynamic manufacturing environment
  • Experience developing and maintaining SWPPPs and site BMPs for stormwater compliance
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience handling highly technical data and technical data interpretation
  • Track record of successful analysis, interpretation, and application of rules and regulations towards practical solutions
  • Able to work well in an integrated collaborative team environment, including frequent interactions with other engineers, managers, federal, state and county agencies
  • Ability to handle many projects at once, prioritize work, and work efficiently
  • Highly self-motivated and able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment with ongoing drive for continuous improvement in all aspects of work

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • This is not a remote or hybrid position and will require relocation if not already local to the Anderson / College Station, TX area
  • Position requires the ability to work extended hours and weekends when needed
