Controls Engineer (Supercomputer Infrastructure)

SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge.

As a member of the Supercomputer Physical Infrastructure team, you will design, build, and activate control systems for some of the world’s most technically advanced AI training campuses.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in initial equipment conceptual development and balance product specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost, and lead-time limits.
• Design and lay out new industrial electrical control panels compliant with NFPA79/NEC/UL508A, and create electrical, pneumatic, and fluid schematics.
• Simulate processes to assess the viability of automation proposals for cooling plants, electrical distribution, and liquid-cooling loops.
• Develop, test, and debug PLC code for critical infrastructure applications, focusing on maintainability and reusability.
• Create user-friendly HMI screens for complex plant and facility systems.
• Oversee electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic, and fluid plumbing.
• Select and size electrical and electromechanical components.
• Deploy automated processes and equipment into live campus operations.
• Manage project schedules and budgets.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.
• 1+ years of professional experience in designing and commissioning automation and controls systems for industrial applications.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Knowledge of building automation systems for critical infrastructure.
• Experience with mechanical (HVAC) controls and wiring, Delta controls.
• Familiarity with process integration and electromechanical/mechatronic systems.
• Electrical schematic CAD experience using EPlan.
• Proficiency in C#, .NET, Python, and/or SQL.
• PLC programming experience, preferably Siemens TIA Portal and Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.
• HMI and SCADA programming experience, with Ignition being a plus.
• Understanding of field bus networks, serial communication, and Ethernet communication.
• Hands-on experience building and commissioning high-quality electrical control panels and electro-mechanical systems.
• Knowledge of NEC, NFPA 79, UL508A codes.
• Exposure to industrial sensors and equipment used in cooling plants and electrical distribution.
• Experience in data centers, power generation, semiconductor, or other high-reliability industrial environments.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Experience in fast-paced iterative design and commissioning environments.

Additional Requirements:

• Willingness to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed.
• Ability to travel to other locations.
• Must be able to work onsite in the Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS area.
