Environmental Health & Safety Engineer (AI Supercomputer)

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 ofenabling human life on Mars.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY ENGINEER

As part of the SpaceX EHS Team you will provide timely clear and high-quality technical expertise and assist in the implementation of all environmental health and safety programs for the construction expansion and operation of SpaceXs advanced AI infrastructure and large-scale compute facilities. The ideal candidate is highly skilled in both environmental and occupational safety hands-on and thrives in a fast-paced high-stakes environment. We work as a tightly integrated team and responsibilities will include supporting other programs to ensure the overall success of SpaceXs mission.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and maintain compliance with all applicable regulations and/or guidelines established by OSHA NFPA NIOSH and other relevant regulatory agencies.
• Collaborate with department leadership engineering teams and facility managers to complete job hazard assessments and implement robust health and safety policies and procedures.
• Monitor employee exposure to physical and chemical hazards and develop recommendations for remedial actions when safety standards are not met.
• Develop and maintain compliance with all applicable regulations established by the EPA CERCLA RCRA DOT and other environmental and transportation agencies.
• Work closely with AI hardware engineers construction teams and operations technicians to perform detailed safety reviews of complex operations involving high-power systems cooling infrastructure and hazardous materials to ensure safe execution.
• Lead or assist in all aspects of incident investigations including initial response root cause analysis corrective action development and closure.
• Implement and develop safety and health programs including but not limited to:
• OSHA general industry and construction standards
• HAZCOM hazmat handling cryogenics high-pressure and high-voltage systems
• Confined space fall protection lock-out/tag-out and electrical safety
• Develop practical safety solutions to resolve EHS hazards/concerns within cost and schedule constraints following the safety hierarchy of controls (elimination substitution engineering controls administrative controls PPE) to keep risks to personnel property and the environment within acceptable boundaries.
• Inspect facilities machinery and safety equipment to identify and correct potential hazards and ensure full regulatory compliance.
• Develop implement and maintain safety contingency plans (fires chemical spills power events etc.).
