Original posting

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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The Power Generation Engineering team is seeking a talented Fluids Engineer where you will have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to rapidly design, build, and activate fluid systems supporting power plants and related generation infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Design, build, and activate fluid systems for power generation plants, including fuel gas, ammonia, water, compressed/instrument air, and HVAC
Utilize knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid flow, and control theory to design and analyze power plant process and utility fluid systems
Model piping assemblies using CAD software and perform piping stress analysis
Read and develop detailed piping and instrumentation diagrams of complex fluids systems
Select components, such as valves, pumps, piping, tanks, heat exchangers, and filters, and provide detailed specifications for their purchase
Coordinate with engineers from other disciplines (civil, structural, electrical, controls, etc) to establish a complete system design
Manage the fabrication and installation of fluid systems and other construction projects occurring at the power plant, hands-on in the field, alongside skilled technician teams
Perform planning, analysis, and troubleshooting of system performance during real-time plant operations, commissioning, and post-outage data reviews
Work closely with operations teams to ensure system design is well-understood and easy to operate long term
Provide innovative solutions to problems under minimal supervision or direction
