The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Lead electrical design for Starship launch pad and Starbase power systems,: including power distribution, motor control, microgrids, and supporting infrastructure
Perform detailed design across the full power system: one-lines, three-lines, control and relaying schematics, wiring diagrams, SCADA, conduit and cable routing, grounding, and construction documentation
Design control panels, power distribution, and hazardous-area systems to NEC,: NFPA 79, UL 508A, NFPA 70/70E, NESC, and IEEE standards
Develop protective relay settings and schemes, and perform load, short-circuit, and arc-flash studies
Own sitewide power budgets, monitoring, and metering, and coordinate with: utilities so mission-critical pad equipment has reliable power.
Scale launch and grid infrastructure, including standardized designs, to Starship production-rate targets
What they're looking for
- Integrate electrical systems with high-power equipment, motion systems, and: instrumentation, and support construction, activation, testing, and operations in the field
- Manage subcontractors and design documentation so installations match design intent and safety requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or another engineering discipline
- + years of experience in power systems design, analysis, and build, with a: focus on high-power, high-voltage systems
