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 ENGINEER, COMPLIANCE/AIR PROGRAMS

This rolewillwork with the environmental leadincontinuous chemical inventory and air emissions tracking systems that underpin EPCRA and air quality compliance at SpaceX's Bastrop, TX site-a high-throughput mass manufacturing environment. The engineerwillwork in a cross functional environment tocontribute todesigns,help developoperationalplans, andmaintainrecords that keep inventory and emissions current through changing production rates, material streams, and equipment configurations,ensuring thatTier II, TRI, and air permit reports are complete, accurate, andaudit ready.

RESPONSIBILITIES:



  • Own and operate continuousassessments forhazardous 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 developinventory tracking tools, workflows, and compliance calendars so EPCRA data stays complete and current throughout the year despite productionchangesand 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 massmanufacturingsetting(i.e.process units, coating/painting, combustion equipment, tanks, fugitives, and other site sources). Including rolling this informationapplicable reports such asannual emission fees
  • Use that information tomaintain throughput, operating hours, material usage, operating parameters, and monitoring dataas required and asproduction volume and schedules vary
  • Ownareaemission unit inventories and source-level trackingon current or incomingequipment,and keep track of when equipment ismodified, decommissioned, and/orwhen production rates, product mix, or process recipes change
  • Work with process owners to review and assess equipment buy-offs, coordinate emissions testingwithcontractorsif necessary

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:



  • Bachelor's degree in environmental engineering, environmental science/management, chemical engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years in mass manufacturing or high-throughput industrial production owning continuous chemical inventory and/or emissions tracking that feeds EPCRA (Tier II/TRI) and/or air permit reporting
  • 1+ years performing deepprocess/equipmentdesignreviewsin mass manufacturing or high-throughput industrial production,contributing infinal acceptance testingand abatement/control tie-inselection
  • Experience sustaining inventory and emissions data quality under high material turnover, multi-shift operations, frequent process/equipment changes, and large SKU or chemical catalogs
  • Experience with Title V or state air permit recordkeeping and periodic compliance reports inTexas
  • Strong working knowledge of EPA, TCEQ, EPCRA, Clean Air Act, and Texas community right-to-know / air requirements



ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:



  • This isnot a remote or hybrid position and will require relocation if not already local to the Bastrop, TX area
