Texas locations

SpaceX has many openings in:

• Starbase

• McGregor

Starbase is currently hiring for hundreds of positions ranging from technicians and welders to engineers and operations staff.

To improve your chances

• Tailor your resume to each job posting.

• Highlight troubleshooting, equipment maintenance, root-cause analysis, vacuum systems, manufacturing, and process improvement experience.

• Quantify results (uptime improvements, reduced downtime, projects completed).

• Apply to several roles rather than just one.

With your semiconductor equipment background, I would focus on technician and manufacturing roles first—they are often the most direct path into SpaceX.
