Spaceport Integration Manager

Cape Canaveral, FL

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.

SPACEPORT INTEGRATION MANAGER

As a Spaceport Integration Manager, you will work as part of the existing spaceport integration team to coordinate spaceport development with external and internal departments at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) and Kennedy Space Center (KSC). In this role you will assist team members with local permitting coordination with NASA/KSC and the Space Force, spanning civil, architectural, structural, and MEP designs, supporting efforts to push back on unnecessary requirements and streamline existing external approval processes. This role will be a critical enabler for the manifest increase as we streamline our regulatory requirements and processes, and with the addition of Starship at the Cape. 

Working within the team, you will support engagement with NASA/KSC, the Space Force, and Range leadership on local permitting and construction-related approvals. This includes helping maintain strong relationships with permitting authorities and supporting timely review and approval of civil, architectural, structural, and MEP design packages.

  • Help track and coordinate Range and base requirements related to site development and infrastructure and assist in streamlining external approval documentation and processes. 
  • Support communication of the strategic direction of SpaceX including construction, standards, safety, and security measures to help ensure effective and timely approval, support, & execution with NASA/KSC, the Space Force, and the Range. 
  • Support resolution of conflicts that arise with tactical execution involving the base, base leadership, and other launch providers. 
  • Work with the team to streamline the local permitting and approval process for safe, reliable, robust, rapid, and cost-effective site development by challenging requirements and typical timelines/cost. 
  • Contribute meaningfully to the master planning of SpaceX’s Florida-based operations at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, architecture, or STEM discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience leading technical process improvements and/or serving in a technical project management capacity in an aerospace environment.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
