Fire Safety & Emergency Response Technician

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.

• Serve as a dedicated technician with dual core responsibilities: (1) inspection, testing, maintenance, and commissioning support of fire and life-safety systems, and (2) fire, hazardous-materials, and process-emergency response for manufacturing hazards including pyrophoric gas fires (silane), toxic gas leaks (PH3, AsH3), acid spills, wet-bench fires, and cleanroom/tool incidents
• Perform and manage ITM for fire and life safety systems (sprinklers, suppression, alarms, detection, extinguishers, gas detection, SCBA, and related equipment); complete scheduled testing and maintenance with little or no guidance, close out deficiencies, and support regulatory or insurance inspections
• Support installation, upgrades, and commissioning of fire protection systems: walkdowns, device checkout, punch lists, functional tests, and turnover
• Verify that installed systems stay in working order and that impairments are logged, mitigated, and restored
• Work with facilities teams, fire contractors, and the authority having jurisdiction (fire marshal) on inspections, permits, impairments, and certifications
• Read drawings, submittals, and test reports well enough to follow a job in the field and flag what does not match
• Keep inspection, test, and corrective-action records so audits and AHJ visits have a clean paper trail
• Respond to impairments, leaks, trouble signals, and after-hours issues as the site requires
• Fill key operational roles during incidents (including HAZMAT technician-level support and technical rescue); perform size‑up, specialized gas monitoring, scene control, isolation support, defensive and offensive tactics, foam/dry‑chemical application, spill containment, decontamination, and two‑in/two‑out operations
• Operate in full structural firefighting PPE + SCBA and Level A/B hazmat suits; maintain accountability, communications, and incident documentation; participate effectively in IAS structure
• Create and review basic pre‑incident plans and JHAs (including HAZMAT scenarios); support emergency action plans, drills, and mutual‑aid interface
• Deliver training to production, operations, and maintenance personnel and participate in live‑fire, gas‑release, and joint exercises; train new technicians on basic ITM and response tasks as experience grows
• Perform hot‑work watches, confined‑space standby, permit support, and other EHS readiness tasks; manage assigned apparatus, equipment, HAZMAT resources, and consumable inventory
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, facilities, and EHS leadership to proactively ensure fire safety and emergency‑response requirements are met and built into company processes

• High‑school diploma or equivalent
• 2+ years installing, inspecting, testing, and/or servicing fire protection systems (sprinkler, fire alarm, and/or special suppression)
  or equivalent industrial emergency‑response experience
• Ability to obtain ISC 100/200/300 within 90 days of hire

• Experience in semiconductor, solar‑cell, or high‑hazard process manufacturing emergency response
• Working knowledge of NFPA standards (e.g., NFPA 13, 25, 72) and basic building/fire code requirements
• Firefighter I/II certification (IFSAC, Pro Board, or equivalent)
• Hazardous Materials Technician certification (NFPA 472/1072 or OSHA  equivalent)
• NICET certification in Inspection and Testing, Water‑Based Systems, Fire Alarm, or Special Hazards
• Hands‑on time with…
