AUTOMATION & CONTROLS SPECIALIST (STARLINK)SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity, including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable. The Automation & Controls Specialist will be responsible for building, installing, and commissioning new automation assets, panel builds, and electromechanical controls systems. Additionally, the Automation & Controls Specialist will assist equipment maintenance with troubleshooting complex controls issues within existing SpaceX critical assets, focusing on adding long‑term repairs that increase the overall reliability of production systems, rather than implementing quick‑fix solutions.ResponsibilitiesCreate, redline, modify, and correct electrical and pneumatic schematics for automated equipment using EPLAN Electrical/Fluid and Visio software suitesWire, commission, and validate electromechanical and pneumatic control systemsBuild control panels to NFPA 79 & UL 508A standardsDesign and commission basic PLC and HMI software applicationsInterpret and develop logic for Beckoff Twincat, Siemens TIA, and Allen‑Bradley RSLogixTroubleshoot and modify PLC and HMI softwareSpec and procure required components, sensors, and hardware needed for implementing controls solutionsDevelop new and improve design on existing production assetsEstablish effective project management skills to drive efficient project completionPromote 5S principles of organizing and sustaining efficient and presentable team work spacesRead, understand, and utilize system‑level schematics (mechanical/electrical/pneumatic/hydraulic)Support production devices (HMIs, VM's, Thin Clients, IoT devices)Basic QualificationsHigh school diploma or equivalency certificate and 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing and production environment; OR bachelor's degree in an engineering, math, or science discipline2+ years of experience with mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic systemsPreferred Skills and ExperienceAssociate or bachelor's degree in an engineering, math, or science disciplineDemonstrated hands‑on skill in fault finding, mechanical system troubleshooting, and solid problem resolution skillsHighly motivated with strong interpersonal skills; a team player, yet able to work independently when necessaryExceptional problem solving and communication skills, creative, and has strong organizational skills as well as documentationStrong, working knowledge of NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety), NFPA 79 & UL508A codesPLC & HMI programming experience or familiarization using Ladder Logic and Structured Text LanguageMechanical equipment design/build experienceExperience with electrical control panel design, building, and wiringElectrical schematic drawing/updatesExcellent skills in Word, Excel, PowerPointDetail oriented, organized, and able to demonstrate a high sense of urgencyAbility to read and interpret electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic schematics and drawingsAnalytical skills – Skilled at gathering and analyzing information to understand complex situations and solve problemsAbility to maintain a safe and clean working environment while adhering to company policies, quality policies, and industry standardsAdditional RequirementsMust be available one or more of the following shifts:A shift, 5am‑5pm Sunday‑Tuesday, every other WednesdayB shift, 5am‑5pm Thursday‑Saturday, every other WednesdayC shift, 5pm‑5am Sunday‑Tuesday, every other WednesdayD shift, 5pm‑5am Thursday‑Saturday, every other WednesdayMust be willing and able to work all shifts and available for overtime and weekends as neededMust be able to gain forklift certificationAbility to lift 25 lbs. unassistedLifting, standing, climbing, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, stretching, and carrying are generally required to perform the functions of this positionITAR RequirementsTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of StateSpaceX is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with SpaceX is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.Applicants wishing to view a copy of SpaceX's affirmative action plan for veterans and individuals with disabilities, or applicants requiring reasonable accommodation to the application/interview process should reach out to EEOCompliance@spacex.com.#J-18808-Ljbffr
