Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.\nSpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.\nELECTRICAL ENGINEER, POWER GENERATION\nWe are seeking exceptional Electrical Engineers to join our growing team in Memphis and help design, build, and optimize on-site power generation for SpaceXSI's high-density AI supercomputing facilities. This role owns plant electrical systems for gas turbine generation - from generator, excitation, and synchronization through 34.5 kV collect/export, protection, e-houses, blackstart, and switching.\nYou will collaborate across electrical, mechanical, power systems, and construction teams to deliver reliable, massive-scale generation. This is a full-time, onsite role based in the Memphis region.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nOwn plant electrical systems for on-site gas turbine generation supporting AI superclusters, including generators, excitation, synchronization, auxiliaries, and balance-of-plant electrical\nDesign and engineer 34.5 kV collect and export systems, protection and control, e-houses, blackstart capability, and related medium-voltage infrastructure\nServe as switching authority for plant electrical systems, including switching procedures, isolation, clearance, and energization\nDevelop single-line diagrams, protection & control schematics, relay settings, and interconnection designs\nPerform detailed power system studies (load flow, short circuit, arc flash, transient stability, harmonics) using ETAP, PSS/E, or equivalent tools\nIntegrate generation with plant systems, 34.5 kV collect/export, and downstream data center loads\nEnsure compliance with relevant standards (NERC, ERCOT, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, UL) and support permitting and utility coordination\nSupport equipment specification, vendor selection, factory testing, site commissioning, and energization\nConduct failure mode analysis (FMEA), root cause investigations, and reliability modeling to achieve extreme uptime targets\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams on new facility builds, capacity expansions, and continuous improvement of power standard\nBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:\nBachelor's degree in electrical engineering, physics or electrical engineering technology\nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:\nExperience with gas turbine generators, excitation, synchronization, islanded operation, and blackstart\nExperience owning plant electrical systems, including 34.5 kV collect/export, protection, e-houses, and switching authority\nBackground with data centers, hyperscale facilities, or large on-site power infrastructure (>50 MW)\nKnowledge of ERCOT, NERC reliability standards, and utility interconnection processes\nExperience supporting construction, commissioning, and operations of power systems\nTrack record of innovation or high-impact delivery in power infrastructure projects\nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:\nPerform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights\nMust be able to work extended hours and weekends as needed; flexibility required\nRemain focused while working in hazardous environments, while wearing appropriate PPE\nMust be able to lift up to 25lbs unassisted\nTravel up to 50% to other locations\nValid driver’s license\nSpaceXSI is an equal opportunity employer.
