About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or an engineering discipline is required.
At least 3 years of electrical design experience in data center, industrial, or utility facilities is required.
The role requires hands-on work in heat, cold, and rain, in tight quarters or at heights.
The role requires working extended hours and weekends as needed to support construction, energization, and operations.
The role requires remaining focused in hazardous environments while wearing appropriate personal protective equipment.
The role requires lifting up to 25 pounds unassisted.
The role requires providing 24/7 on-call support for emergencies.
The role requires working on-site in Memphis, Tennessee; it is not remote or hybrid.
The role requires travel up to 25% for factory witness testing, vendor and original equipment manufacturer engagement, and support at other sites.
A valid driver's license is required.

Responsibilities

Produce and maintain single-line diagrams, three-lines, panel schedules, cable schedules, conduit and raceway layouts, grounding plans, and equipment elevations.
Perform load calculations, voltage-drop calculations, cable ampacity and derating calculations, conduit-fill calculations, and pull-tension analyses, including for long underground runs.
Size medium- and low-voltage transformers, switchgear, busway, and feeders; specify impedance, basic impulse level, temperature rise, and short-time ratings.
Write equipment specifications and technical bid evaluations for ring-main units, transformers, switchgear, busway, and power distribution units.
Provide model inputs for protection and power-system studies, including nameplate data, impedances, cable constants, and as-designed configurations.
Resolve field requests for information and issue design changes during construction.
Maintain organized design and asset documentation for Data Center electrical packages.
Ensure compliance with NFPA 70, 70B, 70E, the National Electrical Safety Code, and IEEE standards while prioritizing safety.

Desired Qualifications

Experience producing issued-for-construction drawing sets using AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, or Revit.
Working knowledge of National Electrical Code Articles 110, 215, 240, 250, 310, and 450.
Medium-voltage cable system design experience.
Experience with power-systems analysis software and tools such as ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, MATLAB, or PSCAD.
Revit or building information modeling coordination experience.
Engineer in Training certification or progress toward a Professional Engineer license.
Experience on a repeated, multi-phase build rather than one-off projects.
Initiative, creative problem-solving, and strong analytical and engineering fundamentals.

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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI 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.

ELECTRICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

Join the High Power Engineering team supporting SpaceXSI to design, build, operate, and maintain electrical infrastructure for AI training campuses. As a Design Engineer on the Data Center team, you will work with a small on-site team to scale high-capacity power systems on a schedule set by compute demand. The position is based in Memphis, TN, with potential travel to other sites.

Produce and maintain single-line diagrams, three-lines, panel schedules, cable schedules, conduit and raceway layouts, grounding plans, and equipment elevations
Perform load calculations, voltage drop, cable ampacity and derating, conduit fill, and pull-tension analysis including long underground runs
Size MV/LV transformers, switchgear, busway, and feeders; specify impedance, BIL, temperature rise, and short-time ratings
Write equipment specifications and technical bid evaluations for ring-main units, transformers, switchgear, busway, and PDUs
Supply model inputs to protection and power-system studies: nameplate data, impedances, cable constants, and as-designed configurations
Resolve field RFIs and issue design changes during construction
Maintain organized design and asset documentation for Data Center electrical packages
Ensure compliance with NFPA 70, 70B, 70E, NESC, and IEEE standards, prioritizing safety and engineering excellence

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or an engineering discipline

Revit or BIM coordination experience
Engineer in Training certification, or on track for a Professional Engineer license
Experience on a repeated, multi-phase build rather than one-off projects
Demonstrated initiative, creative problem-solving, and strong analytical/engineering fundamentals

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights
Work extended hours and weekends as needed to support construction, energization, and operations
