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.
Reporting to Facilities/Maintenance, the Sr. Fire & Life Safety Program Specialist owns the full lifecycle of fire detection and suppression systems for our industrial and aerospace manufacturing campus — from the maintenance and reliability program for existing fire alarm infrastructure to the design, permitting, and installation of new fire suppression and sprinkler systems. This is primarily a program and project management role: you will be the site’s single point of accountability for fire protection strategy, contractor and vendor performance, code compliance, and AHJ engagement.
Your deep technical background in fire alarm design and programming enables you to review vendor work critically, direct troubleshooting, and step in hands-on during emergencies and critical impairments. You will partner closely with EHS to identify and mitigate emerging fire hazards ranging from lithium-ion battery storage to aerospace vehicle integration.
