Mechanical Technician

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are seeking a Mechanical Technician to support the buildout and operation of SpaceXAI's high-performance data centers. In this hands-on role, you will provide mechanical general labor and field support that keeps construction and commissioning moving on our next-generation AI supercomputing infrastructure.

You will work closely with mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and operations teams to stage materials, assist installs, and maintain a safe, productive jobsite from construction through turnover. This is a full-time, onsite role with significant travel to SpaceXAI data center sites.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Stage, move, and inventory pipe, valves, hangers, insulation, tools, and equipment; keep laydown yards and mechanical rooms orderly.
• Assist skilled trades with hanging strut, supports, lagging, insulation, bolt-up, and simple mechanical assembly under direction of a lead technician or journeyman.
• Support equipment set for pumps, cooling towers, air handlers, and related mechanical gear, including cribbing, alignment assist, and housekeeping.
•  Open and close work areas: protection, debris removal, scrap segregation, and end-of-shift reset so the next crew can start immediately.
• Fetch tools and materials, run parts between warehouse and field, and keep consumables stocked.
• Follow LOTO, PPE, and permit rules; do not work on live systems without authorization.
• Report damaged material, unsafe conditions, and drawing conflicts immediately.
•  Support punch-list work and cleanup through system turnover.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• 1+ year of construction, warehouse, manufacturing, or mechanical-helper experience, or equivalent military experience.
• Willingness to work at heights, outdoors, and on a changing construction site.
• Ability to use basic hand tools, power tools, and material-handling equipment safely.
• Strong safety mindset and willingness to follow site procedures.
• Willingness to work extended hours, nights, and weekends during critical construction windows.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Prior experience on industrial, mechanical, or data center construction sites.
• Familiarity with pallet jacks, basic rigging, and mechanical fasteners.
• OSHA 10 or equivalent training.
• Ability to read simple plans or spool sheets.
• High school diploma or equivalency certificate.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Ability to travel extensively to SpaceXAI construction sites and remain onsite during peak construction phases.
• Capability to work in industrial environments, climb ladders, lift moderate loads, stand and walk for a full shift, and wear PPE for extended periods.
