SpaceX Recruits Gas Traders to Manage Energy Needs

SpaceX is hiring a natural gas trading team to manage fuel and power requirements for its rocket operations and a new Texas semiconductor facility.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is recruiting a trader to establish and lead a natural gas trading team. The new team will manage both physical and financial natural gas trading to support the company's expanding fuel and power requirements for its manufacturing and power-plant operations.

This energy strategy supports the use of super-chilled methane for the Starship rocket and a semiconductor facility currently under development in Texas in partnership with Tesla Inc. The move follows a broader trend of technology firms, including Meta and OpenAI, entering the power trading market to secure energy for expanding infrastructure.

The positions are based in either Cape Canaveral, Florida, or Starbase, Texas, with no remote work options available.
