From today’s satellite constellations and research projects to tomorrow’s utility-scale energy infrastructure and service in space, Solestial is powering the new space economy.
The Role:
As a Facilities & Equipment Technician at Solestial, you will support the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and improvement of our manufacturing facility and critical building infrastructure. This spans routine maintenance across electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and building systems, as well as project-level work including facility expansions and manufacturing equipment installations. This role is essential to maintaining a safe, reliable, and production-ready environment in a fast-moving manufacturing setting.
You will perform hands-on maintenance and repairs across facility systems, support manufacturing equipment installation and relocation, and partner cross-functionally to execute facility upgrades, expansions, and infrastructure improvements. This includes coordinating closely with contractors and vendors performing work on-site — helping to schedule, oversee, and verify third-party work is completed safely and to specification.
This role also requires frequent coordination with production, engineering, and EHS teams to ensure facility work is aligned with operational needs, safety requirements, and project timelines.
This is a role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on manufacturing environment, can troubleshoot independently, and understands that facility uptime directly supports production success.
