Electrical Engineer – Onsite Power & Gas Turbine Ops

SpaceXAI; Memphis (TN); On-site; USD 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

SpaceXAI is seeking exceptional Electrical Engineers to join our Memphis on-site team to design, build, and optimize on-site power generation for SpaceXAI's high-density AI supercomputing facilities. This role owns plant electrical systems for gas turbine generation, from generator and excitation to 34.5 kV collect/export, protection, e-houses, and switching.

You will collaborate across electrical, mechanical, power systems, and construction teams to deliver reliable power for AI superclusters.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or physics or electrical engineering technology.
• Experience with gas turbine generators, excitation, synchronization, islanded operation, and blackstart.
• Knowledge of ERCOT, NERC reliability standards, and utility interconnection processes.

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
