Environmental Engineer, Compliance/Air Programs

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. ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER, COMPLIANCE/AIR PROGRAMS This role will work with the environmental lead in continuous 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 engineer will work in a cross functional environment to contribute to designs, help develop operational plans, and maintain records that keep inventory and emissions current through changing production rates, material streams, and equipment configurations, ensuring that Tier II, TRI, and air permit reports are complete, accurate, and audit ready.   RESPONSIBILITIES:   Own and operate continuous  assessments for  hazardous 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 develop  inventory tracking tools, workflows, and compliance calendars so EPCRA data stays complete and current throughout the year despite production  changes  and 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 mass  manufacturing  setting  ( i.e.  process units, coating/painting, combustion equipment, tanks, fugitives, and other site sources) . Including rolling this information  applicable reports such as  annual   emission fee s Use that information to  maintain throughput, operating hours, material usage, operating parameters, and monitoring data  as require d and as  production volume and schedules vary Own  area  emission unit inventories and source-level tracking  on   current or incoming  equipment,  and keep track of when equipment is  modified, decommissioned, and /or  when production rates, product mix, or process recipes change Work with process owners to review and assess equipment buy-offs, c oordinate emissions testing  with  contractors  if necessary Support permit applications, amendments, and renewals in a  continuously evolving environment. Work with environmental lead , stakeholders, and consultants  to  map out and develop  long-term  permitting plans Monitor regulatory changes affecting EPCRA lists/thresholds and air permit recordkeeping; update tracking practices and brief management Maintain constructive relationships with  governmental stakeholders such as the  TCEQ,  RRC, LCRA , and the local county/city   BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:   Bachelor’s degree 1+ years of professional experience in the design, development, and execution of environmental and regulatory compliance programs Experience operating or building compliance programs in a n industrial or  manufacturing setting , such as  inventory tracking, emissions/activity tracking, or related regulatory  reporting   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 deep  process/equipment  design  revie w s  in mass manufacturing or high-throughput industrial production ,  contributing in  final acceptance testing  and abatement/control tie-in  selection Experience sustaining inventory and emissions data quality under high material turnover, multi-shif t operations, frequent process/equipment changes, and large SKU or chemical catalogs Experience with Title V or state air permit recordkeeping and periodic compliance reports in  Texas Strong w orking knowledge of EPA, TCEQ, EPCRA, Clean Air Act, and Texas community right-to-know / air requirements   ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: This is  not a remote or hybrid position and will require relocation if not already local to the Bastrop, TX area Position occasionally requires the ability to work extended hours and weekends when needed ITAR REQUIREMENTS: To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 11
