SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. The team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence, operating with a flat structure that encourages hands‑on contribution and initiative. As the Power Generation Engineering Manager, you will lead the design, procurement, and commissioning of large‑scale power generation systems (50 MW+) for AI superclusters, own the technical strategy for reliable, high‑capacity power infrastructure—including gas turbines, combined‑cycle plants, batteries, fuel cells, and hybrid systems—and ensure uninterrupted power for mission‑critical AI training facilities.
