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.
MANAGER, FACILITIES OPERATIONS - SOLAR CELL FACTORY (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.

We are seeking an experienced Facility Operations Manager to lead the central utility plant, infrastructure systems, and site services that enable high-volume solar cell production. This high-impact role offers the opportunity to build and shape the organization from the ground up while directly enabling SpaceX's ambitious vision for AI data centers in space.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Lead daily operations of the central utility plant, gas farm, chemical systems, and wastewater treatment infrastructure that enable 24/7 solar cell manufacturing
  • Oversee high-purity gas and chemical procurement, storage, distribution, and delivery systems while minimizing waste and ensuring uninterrupted supply to production lines
  • Manage critical building and environmental systems (HVAC, power distribution, plumbing, and exhaust) to maintain precise cleanroom conditions required for space-grade solar cells
  • Develop and implement preventative maintenance schedules, operational procedures, safety training, and emergency response plans to guarantee facility uptime and risk mitigation
  • Lead and develop a team of facility technicians and operators, providing coaching and performance management in a high-reliability environment
  • Collaborate with Production, Machine Maintenance, and EHS teams to troubleshoot issues, integrate new processes, and support factory expansion as output
  • Track and optimize key performance metrics including system uptime, utility costs, environmental compliance, and impact on production yield
  • Drive sustainable operations and regulatory compliance (OSHA, EPA, NFPA, and local codes) while continuously improving cost efficiency and infrastructure reliability
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and innovation to enable SpaceX's vision for AI data centers in space

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or STEM discipline; OR 5+ years of experience leading facilities/utilities operations
  • 3+ years of experience working in a manufacturing/operations environment
  • 2+ years of experience in a leadership position

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Strong knowledge of central utility plants, gas farms, chemical distribution, and building systems (HVAC, electrical, pneumatic)
  • Experience with environmental permitting, auditing, sustainability initiatives, and regulatory compliance in a factory setting
  • Experience with solar cell production support systems, including pyrophoric gases, toxic chemicals, and wastewater treatment
  • Expertise in SCADA systems, PLC programming, and industrial automation for facility and utility control
  • Familiarity with Six Sigma or similar process improvement methodologies applied to facility operations
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage complex infrastructure in high-stakes, high-growth manufacturing environments
  • Demonstrated success working in dynamic environments with strict safety, environmental, and operational requirements

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Ability to travel internationally (20%)
  • Ability to stand up to 6 hours, lift up to 25 pounds unassisted, and maneuver around equipment in a factory setting
  • Ability to work in industrial environments with fumes/odors, noise, hazardous chemicals, and confined spaces
