The posting

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.

As a Network Infrastructure Engineer at SpaceX, you will work in a complex environment designing and supporting a variety of IT systems critical for Starship launch pads. This position will require you to design, install, and maintain the physical cabling, network hardware, on-premises compute, electrical enclosures, and data center environments that together make up our mission critical control networks. You will work directly with the launch automations & controls teams to provide reliable and robust connectivity to their critical control systems. The fiber and copper data network cabling that you will design must survive extreme launch environments to carry operational voice, video, vehicle/payload commanding, ground support equipment telemetry, and the rest of the data needed to launch Starship in high-cadence, airport-like operations to enable life beyond Earth.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Ability to prioritize multiple concurrent competing projects effectively and incorporate significant design changes quickly
  • Project management skills including schedule development, writing scopes of work, reading construction drawings, and creating specification documents
  • Experience supervising crews of technicians/contractors to execute implementation of your designs
  • Experience with configuration and operation of TCP/IP based communication equipment
  • Knowledge of industry standards (BICSI, NEC, TIA/EIA), fiber optic cabling types (MM, SM) for interior and exterior usage, copper ethernet cabling types (CAT5, CAT6, CAT6A)
  • Understanding of code requirements and fire protection specifications for cable pathways such as tray and conduit, especially in hazardous rated locations
  • Motivation to oversee projects from early design through build and closeout
  • Keen attention to detail and dedication to thorough documentation
  • Proficient with CAD and/or electrical schematics software
  • Confidence to present designs and clearly articulate project goals for review by internal and external stakeholders

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Ability to work in tight quarters and at height
  • Must be willing to work long hours and weekends when necessary to support launches and critical path project timelines. Flexibility is required

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
