Civil Engineer

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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

SpaceXSI is seeking an exceptional Civil Engineer to lead the civil and site development design and delivery of our next-generation mission-critical data center campuses and co-located power generation facilities. You will architect resilient, high-performance civil infrastructure systems capable of supporting massive AI compute loads, ultra-dense power infrastructure, and rapid deployment timelines that set new industry benchmarks.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for an exceptional engineer who excels in fast-paced, technically demanding environments. You will combine deep expertise in land development, hydrology & hydraulics, and environmental systems with exceptional speed of execution, while seamlessly collaborating across structural, MEP, geotechnical, and construction teams to deliver facilities that power the future of AI.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own end-to-end civil and land development engineering for hyperscale data center campuses, power generation sites, turbine support areas, transformer yards, and industrial infrastructure — delivering complete site grading, stormwater management, underground utilities, and environmental compliance solutions on aggressive schedules.
• Lead detailed hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) analysis, floodplain modeling & analysis, stormwater design, retention/detention systems, and flood mitigation strategies for large-scale industrial sites.
• Design and optimize land development plans, including earthwork calculations, site grading, erosion/sediment control, cut/fill balancing, and foundation preparation for heavy industrial loads in data centers, power plants, and related environments.
• Perform advanced floodplain modeling, environmental assessments, regulatory permitting, and sustainability evaluations to ensure resilient and compliant site infrastructure.
• Drive cross-functional multidisciplinary coordination with structural, mechanical, electrical, geotechnical, and construction teams to integrate civil systems with foundations, power distribution, turbine infrastructure, underground utilities, and overall campus layouts.
