## Description

SpaceXAI is seeking exceptional Electrical Engineers to join the team in Memphis and help design, build, and optimize on-site power generation for 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.

Responsibilities:

- Own plant electrical systems for on-site gas turbine generation supporting AI superclusters, including generators, excitation, synchronization, auxiliaries, and balance-of-plant electrical

- Design and engineer 34.5 kV collect and export systems, protection and control, e-houses, blackstart capability, and related medium-voltage infrastructure

- Serve as switching authority for plant electrical systems, including switching procedures, isolation, clearance, and energization

- Develop single-line diagrams, protection & control schematics, relay settings, and interconnection designs

- Perform detailed power system studies (load flow, short circuit, arc flash, transient stability, harmonics) using ETAP, PSS/E, or equivalent tools

- Integrate generation with plant systems, 34.5 kV collect/export, and downstream 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 standard

Basic Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, physics or electrical engineering technology

Preferred Skills and Experience:

- Experience with gas turbine generators, excitation, synchronization, islanded operation, and blackstart

- Experience owning plant electrical systems, including 34.5 kV collect/export, protection, e-houses, and switching authority

- 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

Additional Requirements:

- 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

- Remain focused while working in hazardous environments, while wearing appropriate PPE

- Must be able to lift up to 25lbs unassisted

- Travel up to 50% to other locations

- Valid driver's license
