Full Job Description
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. PROCESS ENGINEER, INDUSTRIAL WATER TREATMENT (STARLINK) At SpaceX we are building the next generation of space infrastructure to enable large-scale AI data centers in orbit. These orbital AI platforms require massive amounts of reliable, high-efficiency solar power to support intensive computing workloads in space. To make this possible, we are standing up one of the largest solar cell manufacturing facilities in the world. We are seeking a best-in-class Process Engineer, Industrial Water Treatment to drive design, commissioning, build, and operations of ultrapure water and wastewater systems. This high-impact role will help shape process strategies from the ground up while enabling SpaceX’s ambitious vision for AI data centers in space. As a Process Engineer on the Starlink manufacturing program, you will take ownership for activating, qualifying, optimizing, and ensuring the consistency of operations for an ultrapure process water plant supporting our solar cell manufacturing lines. This position is responsible for the development, implementation, and operationalization of equipment, facilities, tooling, and manufacturing process technologies necessary for high-volume production. Your work will form the backbone for millions of next-generation of satellites used all over the world. For homes, schools, businesses, vehicles, planes, or boats, this team plays an instrumental role in ensuring high-speed connectivity is available to all who need it. RESPONSIBILITIES: Demonstrate extreme ownership in the construction, activation, and operation of a new commercial ultrapure process water treatment facility Design, implement, and productionize mechanical and fluid systems that meet SpaceX and reg
