Job details

Experience: 8+ years of experience in electric utility engineering, including technical leadership of design, specification development, and permitting or interconnection
Posting language: English
Posted: Nov 9, 2026

Original job description

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 enabling human life on Mars.

SR. TRANSMISSION & GENERATION PLANNING ENGINEER (PE)

SpaceX’s Starbase launch facilities are the center of SpaceX's plans to revolutionize space travel, serving as our primary site for Starship development and operations. We're seeking a licensed Professional Engineer with extensive experience on large EPC builds of both electrical transmission and generation infrastructure. In this role, you will own utility-scale power projects at Starbase - transmission lines, substations, and generation facilities - advising internal teams, engineering firms, and EPC contractors so designs are constructible, compliant, and ready on the timeline the site requires.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Act as the primary technical owner and reviewer for transmission and generation design packages - plans, specifications, and construction documents - produced by internal teams, engineering firms, and EPC contractors, and confirm they are ready to issue for procurement and construction
Direct large EPC efforts covering high-voltage transmission (lines, structures, and rights-of-way), transmission substations and switchyards, and generation facilities (plant, balance of plant, and grid interconnection), from concept and studies through detailed design, procurement support, construction, and commissioning
Develop standardized design criteria, specifications, drawing templates, and review checklists so engineers and consultants produce consistent, constructible, code-compliant documents
Give project managers and leadership a clear readiness call on design maturity, long-lead equipment, permitting, constructibility, and construction sequencing, and surface schedule risk early
Own the construction-phase technical interface: respond to RFIs, disposition field changes, direct contractors and vendors on technical issues, and support commissioning through turnover
Interface with electric utilities, transmission providers, ERCOT processes as applicable, and authorities having jurisdiction on interconnection, routing, permitting, and compliance
Resolve technical issues across civil, structural, electrical, protection and controls, and mechanical disciplines, and push designs that are safe, reliable, and fast to build
Stay current on the NESC, NEC, IEEE, NFPA, and Texas utility practice; fold lessons from construction and commissioning back into standards; and mentor engineers while holding consultants and contractors to that same bar

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in electrical or other engineering discipline
Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license, with the ability to stamp and certify electrical plans
8+ years of experience in electric utility engineering, including technical leadership of design, specification development, and permitting or interconnection

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Extensive, hands-on experience on large EPC builds of both electrical transmission and electrical generation. Transmission experience must include lines and substations at transmission voltage. Generation experience must include utility-scale plant facilities and grid interconnection. Prior work should be at a scale comparable to multi-mile transmission, transmission-voltage substations, and utility-scale generation
Record of taking those projects through detailed design, equipment specification and procurement support, construction support, and commissioning. Distribution-only work, studies without EPC delivery, or experience in only transmission or only generation does not meet this requirement
Manager-level experience - for example as a design manager, engineering manager, or project engineering manager - at an engineering or EPC firm hired by electric utilities (investor-owned, municipal, cooperative, or independent power producers) to design and build large-scale transmission and generation systems
Direct responsibility for transmission at 69 kV and above, including line design and substation or switchyard design (air-insulated and/or gas-insulated)
Direct responsibility for utility-scale generation and balance of plant, such as simple-cycle or combined-cycle gas plants or other large generation, including interconnection to the transmission system
ERCOT & MISO interconnection experience and familiarity with Texas and Louisiana coastal design conditions, including high wind, corrosion, and flooding
Depth in protection and controls, grounding, and substation physical and electrical design, in addition to project leadership
Proficiency with the tools used to produce and check this work, such as AutoCAD, PLS-CADD or an equivalent line-design package, substation physical design tools, and ETAP, SKM, ASPEN, or similar study software, plus document management systems
Ability to thrive in ambiguous, high-tempo situations and make decisions with incomplete information while holding a rigorous technical standard
Passion for space exploration and a willingness to relocate to work in Starbase, Texas, to be at the forefront of humanity's multiplanetary future

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

This role requires being onsite at a SpaceX office; remote or hybrid work will not be considered
Position occasionally requires the ability to work extended hours or weekends when needed
Ability to travel to various locations included but not limited to: Louisiana, Florida, California, Texas
Ability to travel internationally if required

ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.
