Electrical Engineer, Energy Infrastructure & Generation

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 enabling human life on Mars. ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE & GENERATION RESPONSIBILITIES: Lead the engineering and construction of temporary and permanent power generation plants, including gas/diesel generators, gas turbines, solar arrays, and hybrid systems to meet facility energy demands and reduce peak grid impacts. Oversee the build and commissioning of power generation infrastructure, coordinating with construction teams to ensure safe, efficient installation and integration with existing site power distribution and utility feeds. Develop maintenance programs for power systems, including predictive maintenance schedules, performance monitoring, and upgrades to enhance reliability and longevity. Perform detailed power system analyses, including load forecasting, energy modeling, and optimization for cost and efficiency in a high-demand manufacturing environment. Collaborate with utility providers to negotiate and implement grid interconnections, while designing resilient on-site generation to minimize downtime during outages or expansions. Conduct hands-on troubleshooting, diagnostics, and repairs on power generation equipment, ensuring compliance with safety standards and regulatory requirements along with working with contractors on larger issues and repairs. Drive innovation in sustainable power solutions, such as incorporating energy storage and renewable sources into permanent generation plants. Develop long term facility load ramps with site personnel from various teams to determine power needs across various buildings and product teams for energy procurement and utility/generation expansion. Support overall facility power strategy through risk management, budgeting, and reporting on generation performance metrics. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or other engineering discipline. 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on power generation design, construction, or maintenance. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: 5+ years of experience in industrial or manufacturing facility electrical engineering, ideally in aerospace, telecommunications, or high-tech sectors. Experience working with utility providers for grid connections, metering, and demand management. Proficiency in electrical design software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, or SKM PowerTools). Knowledge of power generation systems, including generators, transformers, switchgear, and protective relaying. Direct experience with utility-specific requirements, including interconnection agreements, tariffs, and renewable integration. Expertise in designing hybrid power systems combining utility feeds with on-site generation (temporary and permanent), including microgrids or energy storage solutions. Professional Engineer (PE) license in Texas or eligibility to obtain one. Familiarity with sustainable energy practices, such as integrating solar or battery storage for facility resilience. Strong project management skills, with experience leading electrical construction projects from concept to commissioning. Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities and tight deadlines. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Physical ability to perform hands-on work in various environments, including heat, cold, rain, and tight quarters. Ability to work onsite at our Bastrop, TX facility (Remote work not considered). Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed. Ability to travel as needed. Valid driver's license. Ability to lift up to 25 lbs. unassisted. ITAR REQUIREMENTS: To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
