SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP
Controls Technician (Starship Tower) - Multiple Shifts
SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP, Florida, New York, United States
Overview
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. Role
