## About the role

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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- 5+ years of professional experience in electrical construction, power systems engineering, substations, data-center electrical infrastructure, BESS, or facilities electrical management
- Ability to work at elevated heights (200+ feet) and around energized/high-voltage equipment (with proper training and PPE)
- Physical effort with lifting and carrying materials or equipment (up to 25 lbs.)
- Typically exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments — heat, cold, rain — as well as indoor data-center and substation environments
- Work performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, noise, and electrical hazards
