SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All employees are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The Power Generation team is seeking an Electrical Technician to operate and maintain plant electrical systems at SpaceX’s power generation facility. You will work hands-on across medium-voltage generation, distribution, and balance-of-plant electrical equipment up to 13.5 kV and 34.8 kV. This is an operations and maintenance role — you will switch, troubleshoot, repair, and keep electrical systems online in a high-reliability, fast-paced plant environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Perform operations and maintenance on plant electrical systems, including generators, transformers, switchgear, motor control centers, motors, VFDs, UPS units, automatic transfer switches, and emergency/black-start equipment, at voltages up to 13.5 kV and 34.8 kV.
Execute switching, isolation, LOTO, racking of breakers, and restoration of medium-voltage equipment in accordance with plant procedures and NFPA 70E.
Troubleshoot electrical faults on power distribution, protection, grounding, lighting, and auxiliary systems using one-line diagrams, schematics, and electrical test equipment.
Perform preventive and predictive maintenance, inspections, and repairs to improve reliability and reduce unplanned downtime.
Support plant startups, shutdowns, outages, and commissioning activities alongside operators, controls technicians, and engineers.
Install, terminate, and maintain plant electrical equipment, cable, and control wiring as required for operations and maintenance work.
Respond to electrical alarms, trips, and equipment failures; support root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions.
Coordinate with operations, engineering, and utility personnel on switching, clearances, and electrical work that affects plant generation.
Maintain accurate work orders, switching records, and as-found/as-left documentation.
Follow all safety, LOTO, arc-flash, and PPE requirements while working in energized and hazardous plant environments.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

High school diploma or equivalency certificate
3+ years of experience as an electrical technician, industrial electrician, or similar role maintaining industrial or power generation electrical systems.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Experience operating and maintaining medium-voltage electrical systems (4.16 kV to 34.8 kV), including switchgear, transformers, and breakers.
Experience in a power plant, generating station, or other high-reliability industrial facility.
Ability to read and interpret single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, and equipment O&M manuals.
Experience with LOTO, switching procedures, and NFPA 70E / arc-flash safety practices.
Experience troubleshooting motors, VFDs, MCCs, UPS systems, and plant auxiliary electrical equipment.
Familiarity with electrical test equipment (multimeters, insulation testers, infrared, and similar).
Journeyman electrician license or equivalent formal electrical training.
Experience using a CMMS or work-order system to plan and close maintenance work.
Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-discipline operations and maintenance team.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Willingness to perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights.
Ability to work extended hours, nights, weekends, and rotating or on-call schedules to support plant operations.
Ability to remain focused in hazardous environments while wearing appropriate PPE.
Ability to lift up to 25 lbs. unassisted.
Lifting, standing, climbing, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, stretching, and carrying are generally required to perform the functions of this position.
Must be able to work on-site at the power generation facility, with potential travel to other SpaceX sites.
