Design Engineer

Join the High Power Engineering team supporting SpaceXAI 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 include:

• Producing and maintaining single-line diagrams, three-lines, panel schedules, cable schedules, conduit and raceway layouts, grounding plans, and equipment elevations.
• Performing load calculations, voltage drop, cable ampacity and derating, conduit fill, and pull-tension analysis including long underground runs.
• Sizing MV/LV transformers, switch gear, busway, and feeders; specifying impedance, BIL, temperature rise, and short-time ratings.
• Writing equipment specifications and technical bid evaluations for ring-main units, transformers, switch gear, busway, and PDUs.
• Supplying model inputs to protection and power-system studies: nameplate data, impedances, cable constants, and as-designed configurations.
• Resolving field RFIs and issuing design changes during construction.
• Maintaining organized design and asset documentation for Data Center electrical packages.
• Ensuring compliance with NFPA 70, 70B, 70E, NESC, and IEEE standards, prioritizing safety and engineering excellence.

Basic qualifications include:

• 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 include:

• 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: ETAP, SKM, Easy Power, Matlab, PSCAD, etc.
• 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 include:

• Performing hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights.
• Working extended hours and weekends as needed to support construction, energization, and operations.
• Remaining focused in hazardous environments while wearing appropriate PPE.
• Lifting up to 25 lbs. unassisted.
• Providing 24/7 on-call support for emergencies.
