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:
As a Supervisor on the power generation team, you will lead the technicians who operate, maintain, and repair on-site generation that powers SpaceXSI's high-density AI supercomputing facilities. You will oversee plant technicians, process technicians, and electrical technicians as one operations and maintenance team — covering gas turbine packages, balance-of-plant, process/fluid systems, and plant electrical systems through 34.5 kV.
You will operate with autonomy to solve diverse and complex problems, manage multiple workstreams at once, and work in a dynamic, fast-paced plant environment. This role directly impacts reliability, safety, and uptime at the Southaven and Memphis sites. You will keep generation online, keep maintenance disciplined and cost-effective, and build a technician team that can respond to trips, outages, and commissioning without losing the day-to-day plant.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead a team of plant technicians, process technicians, and electrical technicians responsible for inspections, testing, operations, maintenance, and repair of power generation systems, including gas turbines and generators, balance-of-plant, fuel gas and process/fluid systems, water and compressed/instrument air, HVAC and cooling, and plant electrical systems up to 13.5 kV / 34.5 kV
- Schedule daily work, prioritize assignments, and balance planned maintenance against real-time plant needs, alarms, trips, and outages
- Direct switching, isolation, LOTO, start-up, shutdown, and restoration activities so electrical, mechanical, and process work is coordinated and safe
- Own work execution quality: procedures, work orders, as-found/as-left records, and close-out in the CMMS
- Know and enforce SpaceXSI safety procedures, including LOTO, NFPA 70E / arc-flash, confined space, and hot work; stop work when conditions are unsafe and escalate uncorrected hazards
- Support plant start-ups, shutdowns, commissioning, and outages alongside engineering, operations, and contractors
- Coordinate with engineering, operators, and utility personnel on clearances, switching, and work that affects generation
