Infrastructure Operations Engineer — Starbase Site

SpaceX; Brownsville (TX); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

SpaceX seeks an Operations Engineer for Starbase Infrastructure in Brownsville, TX. You will standardize how shops request, plan, execute, and close work, while aligning with Warp, Foundation, LOTO, MOC, and commissioning turnover.

Responsibilities include defining the work-management system, providing visibility into estimates and hours, and owning readiness for new equipment. Strong CMMS, data analytics, and collaboration with technicians and leadership are essential.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline is required.
• 1+ years of professional experience in industrial plant, central plant, utilities, facilities, power generation, process operations, or maintenance engineering.

Responsibilities

• Standardize how work is requested, planned, executed, and closed across all infrastructure shops.
• Adopt company and site standards (Warp, Foundation, LOTO, MOC, commissioning turnover) and pull in processes from other SpaceX plants where they fit.
• Choose the fix: software / AI / data, a physical or tooling change, or a personnel skill and behavior standard.
• Define and improve the work-management system: Warp / Foundation work orders, PM and PdM backlog, kitting, as-found / as-left closeout, critical spares.
• Give shops visibility they can staff against: time estimates vs actuals, remaining hours, and which jobs are blocking a customer.
• Own commissioning and operational-readiness for new or modified systems: punch lists, first PMs, mBOM / spare setup, procedures, and trained turnover to operations.
• Translate design packages into isolation plans, LOTO, work instructions, and hold points the floor can execute.
• Stand up asset identity for equipment that is still informal: what it is, what feeds it, what PM it gets, where the WO lives.
• Put numbers on the shops: availability, PM compliance, WO aging, estimate accuracy, contractor vs in-house mix; brief supervisors and site leadership.
• Write the procedures the shops actually use and teach leads and technicians the standard.
