Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
As a member of the SpaceXAI construction team in Memphis, you will design, build, and activate some of the world’s most technically advanced electrical infrastructure — from high-voltage substations through medium-voltage distribution to low-voltage data center power systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We execute complex electrical construction projects and infrastructure improvements from cradle to grave. You will operate with autonomy to solve diverse and complex power-system problems, excel at managing multiple projects at a time, and work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will work with other construction engineers, electrical contractors, equipment vendors, utilities, architects, and internal customers to deliver reliable, high-capacity electrical systems that support AI-scale compute. All SpaceX construction engineers serve additionally as project managers and supers — this is a construction management role per industry standards. The position is based in Memphis, TN.
This role is focused on delivering the electrical backbone — from the high-voltage substation down to the low-voltage racks and BESS — that will power SpaceXAI’s Memphis operations.
