The role
You will design and engineer the power infrastructure for SpaceXSI's high-density AI supercomputing facilities. The work covers battery storage, power transmission, and power generation, and you will work on one or more of these areas.
What you will do
- Design and engineer electrical systems for on-site power generation, high-voltage transmission, and large-scale battery energy storage supporting AI superclusters
- Develop single-line diagrams, protection and control schematics, relay settings, and interconnection designs
- Perform power system studies (load flow, short circuit, arc flash, transient stability, harmonics) using ETAP, PSS/E, or equivalent tools
- Integrate electrical systems with generators, battery storage, transmission infrastructure, and data center loads
- Ensure compliance with relevant standards (NERC, ERCOT, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, UL) and support permitting and utility coordination
- Support equipment specification, vendor selection, factory testing, site commissioning, and energization
- Conduct failure mode analysis (FMEA), root cause investigations, and reliability modeling to achieve extreme uptime targets
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams on new facility builds, capacity expansions, and continuous improvement of power standards
Required qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology
- Must be able to perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights
- Must be able to work extended hours and weekends as needed; flexibility required
- Must remain focused while working in hazardous environments, while wearing appropriate PPE
- Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs unassisted
- Must be willing to travel up to 50% to other locations
- Valid driver's license
Nice to have
- Experience in battery storage (BESS, inverters/PCS, BMS integration, NFPA 855), power transmission (high-voltage substations, transmission lines, grid interconnection (ERCOT)), or power generation (ga
- Background with data centers, hyperscale facilities, or large on-site power infrastructure (>50 MW)
- Knowledge of ERCOT, NERC reliability standards, and utility interconnection processes
- Experience supporting construction, commissioning, and operations of power systems
- Track record of innovation or high-impact delivery in power infrastructure projects
Before you apply
- Must be willing to travel up to 50% to other locations
