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.
LEAD MECHANICAL ENGINEER, MEP (TEXAS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS)
As lead mechanical engineer, MEP, on the Texas Construction Projects team, you will provide technical leadership and direction to engineers across multiple disciplines in the design, construction, and activation of critical infrastructure that enables SpaceX to achieve its long-term mission. You will own the successful delivery of large capital projects for internal customer groups across the company, drive technical decisions, mentor team members, and ensure projects meet performance, schedule, and quality objectives. This position is based in McGregor, TX (Waco area). Travel may be required, and based on business needs, opportunities to support other SpaceX facilities may arise in the future.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Provide technical leadership and direction to the project team, consulting engineers, and contractors throughout the full lifecycle of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning for large capital projects
Direct the development and issuance of engineering drawings, design documentation, and technical reports for aerospace, industrial, and commercial infrastructure projects
Lead the preparation, negotiation, and management of construction contracts with subcontractors across multiple disciplines, from initial award through final close-out
Drive the real-time resolution of complex design and construction conflicts in the field, ensuring minimal impact to schedule and cost
Lead coordination efforts with electrical utility providers on design and engineering activities to ensure reliable and resilient power delivery to critical site infrastructure
Serve as the primary technical interface with engineers, contractors, fabricators, and key project stakeholders, fostering alignment and driving successful project outcomes
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or other engineering discipline
2+ years of professional experience with the design or build of MEP building systems
1+ years of leadership experience leading teams, projects, or people
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Primary experience with electrical and power distribution systems (<600Vac)
Knowledge of HVAC operation and design principles including refrigeration, chillers, boilers, and air-handling equipment
Experience with plumbing design and operation including domestic water, wastewater, venting, and storm systems
Working knowledge of delta/wye transformers, building lighting, building construction specifications, and facility grounding
Experience with critical power infrastructure including UPS systems, backup generators, and automatic transfer switches
Experience creating and implementing process/design solutions with minimal impact to business operations
Able to quickly assess an issue and assist technicians with troubleshooting and repair
Ability to work in a high-concentration, high-stress environment, under possible extended work hours and tight deadlines
Acute attention to detail, ability to see interactions with other systems to avoid problems
AutoCAD/Revit – Beginner to intermediate skill level
Familiarity with National Electric Code, ASHRAE, National Fire Protection Association, and International Building Code
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Role may require extended hours, weekend work and shift schedules, that vary depending on site operational needs; flexibility required
This role requires you to be onsite - remote or hybrid work will NOT be considered
Perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights
Remain focused while working in hazardous environments while wearing appropriate PPE
Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs unassisted
Must be able to travel to other SpaceX sites as needed (up to 25%)

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.
