What the posting says

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to understand the universe and help expand humanity’s knowledge and capabilities. We work across the full Super Intelligence stack: compute (Colossus supercomputers), models (Grok), and applications (Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X). We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Join the High Power Engineering team supporting SpaceXSI to design, build, operate, and maintain electrical infrastructure for AI training campuses. As a Civil Engineer on the Battery Storage 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:

Own civil and site design for the battery storage plant: pads, foundations, grading, drainage, access roads, fire lanes, and equipment yards coordinated with electrical collection and NFPA 855 spacing.

Support the fire and life-safety case with civil provisions: water supply, hydrant layout, deflagration venting clearances, and emergency vehicle access for AHJ review.

Coordinate seismic and severe-weather (tornado/high-wind) structural design basis for storage blocks, transformers, and equipment supports with structural engineering.

Produce issued-for-construction civil packages: site plans, sections, details, specifications, and bid support.

Resolve field RFIs, submittals, and installation quality issues during construction of the storage yard.

Coordinate underground electrical duct banks, oil containment, and grounding grid civil interfaces with Design and Ops/Build engineers.

Maintain as-built civil records for the storage plant.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, or another engineering discipline.

3+ years of civil or structural design experience on industrial, energy, or data center sites.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES:

Professional Engineering license or intention to actively seek a PE license.

NFPA 855 or energy-storage site civil experience.

Experience with seismic qualification and severe-weather hardening of outdoor electrical equipment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D or equivalent site-design software experience.

Experience coordinating civil packages with medium-voltage collection and fire-protection design.

Experience defending a design to an authority having jurisdiction.

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.

Willing to work on-site in Memphis, TN. This is not a remote or hybrid role.

Travel up to 25% for factory witness testing, vendor and OEM engagement, and supporting other sites.

Valid driver's license.
