SpaceX Structural Engineer role focused on high rise facilities for Starship infrastructure supporting vehicle builds and refurbishment. Responsible for structural engineering work packages, design, analysis, and project management across multidisciplinary, multistory projects.

Responsibilities

Own structural engineering work packages for the production site design and development, with a heavy focus on integrated high rise facilities:
Design elements of multidisciplinary, multistory projects for new construction and modifications to existing structures. This includes all phases of project development, from conceptual feasibility studies, preliminary design through construction completion
Perform standard and complex structural engineering analyses, designs and calculations using standard methodology and principles and other viable approaches. Our structures are unique with few precedents and aggressive schedules, ability to think outside the box is a must
Perform building level structural analysis and design for large steel and reinforced concrete buildings, including shallow and deep foundations. The candidate will need to quickly iterate at the conceptual level to drive rapid project development
Create structural design drawings, calculations, and design summary presentations
Estimate material quantities, schedules, and costs for construction projects
Write and manage construction contracts with subcontractors across multiple disciplines
Perform project control tasks, including project scheduling, budgeting, and cost control
Manage multi-discipline design and construction projects, including coordination of typical systems found in high rise buildings (MEP, HVAC, etc)
Interact with other engineers, contractors, fabricators, and various stakeholders
Provide direct onsite field observations and resolve field conflicts in real time
Direct all field personnel to achieve completion of the project on schedule, within budget, with quality workmanship that conforms to the original plans and specifications

Qualification

Required

Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline or physics
1+ years of experience with the design or build of structural infrastructure

Preferred

3+ years of professional experience in civil/structural engineering
Design experience with steel and/or concrete high rise design projects including design and analysis of primary gravity and lateral force resisting systems
Exposure to high rise construction projects is strongly preferred. The ideal candidate will have worked through CA on multiple large scale projects and have a solid understanding of means and methods of construction of high rise projects
Experience with temporary stability analysis during construction
Familiarity with various types of steel erection equipment (tower cranes, large crawlers, etc)
Professional Engineering (PE) or Structural Engineering (SE) license
Knowledge of American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) steel manual, American Concrete Institute (ACI) code 318, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7, International Building Codes (IBC)
Knowledge of CMAA design guidelines for overhead cranes and supporting structures
