Job description

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:

As a Construction Electrician, you will install and terminate new electrical infrastructure: substations, medium-voltage distribution, feeders, and building electrical. This is a build job, not an operating-plant job — pull, land, and energize new equipment from drawings, then turn it over. You will follow lockout/tagout and grounding procedures and support first energization and switching on medium-voltage systems up to 161 kV. This position is based in Memphis, TN.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Install, terminate, and land new substation and campus electrical equipment, including breakers, transformers, switches, relays, buswork, control systems, and batteries.
  • Install conduit, cable tray, cable, wire, and terminations per issued-for-construction drawings; perform underground duct bank, trench, and cable-pull work.
  • Perform medium-voltage switching and operations up to 161 kV in support of construction and first energization: follow switching orders, isolate equipment, apply grounds, and restore or turn over equipment.
  • Perform installation quality checks and electrical testing (voltmeters, ohmmeters, ammeters, insulation megger) and assist with acceptance and commissioning tests on new gear.
  • Read and interpret construction drawings, one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, and work orders.
  • Follow lockout/tagout (LOTO), grounding, clearance procedures, and PPE requirements on an active construction site.
  • Uncrate, set, and dress equipment; climb structures; operate hand and power tools, pulls, blowers, pumps, and portable generators.
  • Support construction energization sequences, punch-list closeout, and turnover to operations with engineers and vendors.
  • Document work performed, test results, and as-built markups.
  • Operate company vehicles and specialized equipment; inspect and store personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Perform similar or less skilled incidental duties as assigned.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
  • 3+ years of experience working as a licensed electrician.
  • Medium-voltage electrical experience, including switching and operations.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Associate degree in electrical, mechanical, or industrial maintenance technology.
  • Journeyman or master electrician license.
  • Switching and operations experience on systems up to 161 kV (substation, industrial, or utility).
  • Industrial, substation, or data center construction experience on medium-voltage systems.
  • Ability to read prints/drawings and use common test tools.
  • Proficiency with hand/power tools and physical tasks (lifting 50+ lbs, working at heights/confined spaces, outdoors in all weather).
  • Strong safety focus, attention to detail, and ability to work independently or in teams.
  • Knowledge of print reading for drawings, manuals, and one-lines.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Schedule varies depending on site operational needs; frequent overtime and weekend support is required.
  • Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions, climbing, lifting up to 50 lbs., and working on ladders/lifts at elevated heights.
  • Ability to work in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, noise, heat, cold, and rain.
  • Ability to rapidly change roles/responsibilities while working in a high-paced, challenging work environment.
  • Stand: up to 6 hours per day.
  • Sit: up to 3 hours per day.
  • Push/Pull: up to 75 lbs. (unassisted) 1–2 hours per day.
  • Overhead reach: up to 3 hours per day.
  • Walk: up to 3 hours per day.
  • Lift/Carry: up to 50 lbs. (unassisted) 1–2 hours per day.
