## About the role

SpaceX is looking for an MEP Engineer with deep mechanical and plumbing expertise to design, specify, and commission the cooling and fluid systems that keep our data center infrastructure running. This role sits at the intersection of critical facilities engineering and the physical plant — you’ll be equally comfortable in a design review and walking a mechanical room during startup. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
- 10+ years of experience in mechanical/plumbing design for mission-critical facilities, data centers, or comparable industrial environments
- 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
