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.

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, 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 another engineering discipline
• 3+ years of electrical design experience in data center, industrial, or utility facilities

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Experience producing issued-for-construction drawing sets in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, or Revit
• Working knowledge of NEC 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, and/or PSCAD
• 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
• Remain focused in hazardous environments while wearing appropriate PPE
• Lift up to 25 lbs unassisted
• Provide 24/7 on-call support for emergencies
