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.

PHYSICAL SECURITY SPECIALIST

Physical Security Specialists are highly experienced and adaptable security professionals who operate with significant autonomy in dynamic, high-threat environments. This position is responsible for providing advanced protective and operational support across SpaceX facilities and executive movements. Specialists are expected to operate as an individual or small team, make independent decisions in the field, and deliver executive-level protection while conducting reconnaissance, counter-surveillance, and border proximity security operations.

  • Lead small teams during operations while also demonstrating the ability to work independently and make sound decisions with limited oversight
  • Support the planning and execution of security for large-scale company events
  • Conduct advanced risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies for critical assets and personnel
  • Maintain proficiency in advanced protective tactics, surveillance detection, mobile operations and emergency medicine

  • Respond to and manage incidents with professionalism and sound judgment
  • Operate small utility vehicles, drones and watercraft

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree
  • Certified Peace Officer
  • Advanced Unit Operations or SWAT certification
  • HR218 credentials (or equivalent authorization) permitting the carrying of firearms in all United States jurisdictions
  • Combat medic, EMT-B, paramedic, or advanced medical emergency training (TCCC/TECC)
  • Experience conducting executive protection
  • Experience planning security for large-scale events
  • Experience conducting reconnaissance and counter-surveillance operations
  • Experience de-escalating disputes and manage conflict professionally
  • Experience instructing security tactics, operations, and procedures
  • Documented small unit leadership or team management experience
  • Military deployment and/or counterinsurgency experience
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to interface effectively with executives
  • Foreign language proficiency (Spanish)

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Willingness to travel on short notice (up to 30% of the time)
  • Ability to effectively operate in extreme outdoor environments
  • Ability and willingness to occasionally stand in a static position for extended periods
  • Ability to work extended hours and a flexible schedule driven by operational needs and threat trends, including nights, weekends, and short-notice travel
  • Position is subject to random drug and alcohol testing
  • Position is subject to pre-employment enhanced screening, including a background check, psychological test, bi-annual physical fitness test, and a drug and alcohol test
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Ability to obtain and maintain an FAA Part 107 Drone license
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Level III Commissioned Security Officer license and Level IV Personal Protection Officer license
  • Possess or eligible for a valid state security officer license

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.
