ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are seeking a Mechanical Technician to support the buildout and operation of SpaceXAI's high-performance data centers.

Support equipment set for pumps, cooling towers, air handlers, and related mechanical gear, including cribbing, alignment assist, and housekeeping.

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.

Prior experience on industrial, mechanical, or data center construction sites.

Familiarity with pallet jacks, basic rigging, and mechanical fasteners.

Ability to read simple plans or spool sheets.
