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 member of the Starship Infrastructure and Construction Team, you will work with a group of elite engineers to design, build, and activate infrastructure for a variety of projects at Starbase as well as other SpaceX Facilities. You will have the opportunity to drive positive changes in a fast-paced and low-drag environment. This includes owning tasks/projects from start to finish, with the goal of making the SpaceX campus a world-class facility that can support the mission of enabling life beyond Earth. This position is based in Starbase, South Texas (Brownsville/South Padre Island area).
