Environmental Engineer: Air Compliance & Emissions

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER, COMPLIANCE/AIR PROGRAMS

This role will work with the environmental lead in continuous chemical inventory and air emissions tracking systems that underpin EPCRA and air quality compliance at SpaceX’s Starbase, TX site. The engineer will work in a cross functional environment to contribute to designs, help develop operational plans, and maintain records that keep inventory and emissions current through changing production rates, material streams, and equipment configurations, ensuring that Tier II, TRI, and air permit reports are complete, accurate, and audit ready.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own and operate continuous assessments for hazardous chemical inventory tracking across a mass manufacturing site: receipts, line/process usage, storage quantities, max on-site amounts, average daily amounts, and container counts by location Use continuous inventory outputs to prepare, quality-check, and submit Tier II and TRI filings on schedule; archive calculations and submission packages Improve or develop inventory tracking tools, workflows, and compliance calendars so EPCRA data stays complete and current throughout the year despite production changes and materials churn Perform internal audits focused on inventory integrity, emissions data completeness, and recordkeeping gaps; drive corrective actions with manufacturing stakeholders Own and operate continuous emissions and activity tracking of emission sources in a mass manufacturing setting ( i.e. process units, coating/painting, combustion equipment, tanks, fugitives, and other site sources) . Including rolling this information applicable reports such as annual emission fee s Use that information to maintain throughput, operating hours, material usage, operating parameters, and monitoring data as require d and as production volume and schedules vary Own area emission unit inventories and source-level tracking on current or incoming equipment, and keep track of when equipment is modified, decommissioned, and /or when production rates, product mix, or process recipes change Work with process owners to review and assess equipment buy-offs, coordinate emissions testing with contractors if necessary Support permit applications, amendments, and renewals in a continuously evolving environment. Work with environmental lead , stakeholders, and consultants to map out and develop long-term permitting plan Monitor regulatory changes affecting EPCRA lists/thresholds and air permit recordkeeping; update tracking practices and brief management Maintain constructive relationships with governmental stakeholders such as the TCEQ, RRC, LCRA , and the local county/city
