SpaceX is looking for a Field Engineer who can support power plant development by owning the rotating equipment integration scope from technical specification through equipment selection, interface management, construction and into commissioning.

- Must be available to work extended hours and weekends when needed based on site operational needs, flexibility required
- Willingness to travel to job sites during construction, commissioning, and critical operational events
