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 help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including 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:

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. As a Controls Engineer, you will develop and commission automated solutions that keep cooling plants, electrical distribution, liquid-cooling loops, and data halls running at the pace of compute demand. The automation and controls team designs, builds, and commissions complete control systems from the ground up. We are looking for talent with a proven track record in developing, troubleshooting, and maintaining control systems for production and critical infrastructure. This position is based in Memphis, TN, with work across the Memphis / Southaven campus.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Participate in initial equipment conceptual development and carefully balance product specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost, and lead-time limits

Lay out new industrial electrical control panels which are NFPA79/NEC/UL508A compliant, and create electrical, pneumatic, and fluid schematics

Simulate processes to inform design engineers of the conceptual viability of automation proposals for cooling plants, electrical distribution, and liquid-cooling loops

Architect, write, and debug PLC code with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable, and reusable for critical infrastructure applications

Generate aesthetically simple HMI screens for complex plant and facility systems while providing sufficient feedback for troubleshooting

Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic, and fluid plumbing

Select and size electrical and electromechanical components such as VFDs, servo motors, and controllers

Deploy automated processes and equipment into live campus operations, including BMS, EPMS, SCADA, and PLC systems serving chillers, CDUs, pumps, and power distribution

Set, implement, and maintain schedules and budgets to ensure project completion

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline

1+ years of professional experience in the design and commissioning of automation and controls systems for industrial applications

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Knowledge in building automation systems for critical infrastructure

Mechanical (HVAC) controls and wiring, Delta controls

Process integration and electromechanical/mechatronic systems experience

Electrical schematic CAD experience using EPlan

C#, .NET, Python, and/or SQL experience

PLC programming experience, preferably Siemens TIA Portal and Beckhoff TwinCAT 3

HMI and SCADA programming experience (Ignition preferred)

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 (temperature, flow, pressure, leak detection, VFDs, chillers, CDUs, switchgear)

Experience in data centers, power generation, semiconductor, or other high-reliability industrial environments

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

Experience in fast-paced iterative design and commissioning environments

Experience solving complex problems with little to no supervision on schedule as an individual or as a member of an integrated team

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be willing to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed

Must be willing to travel to other locations

Ability to work onsite in the Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS area
