Electrical Engineer, Propellant Generation (Starship)

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, PROPELLANT GENERATION (STARSHIP)

As a member of the Starship Launch Engineering team, you will focus on the electrical design and field support for propellant generation systems that enable rapid, high-volume production of liquid oxygen and methane. You will work with a group of elite engineers across multiple disciplines to design, install, and activate air separation plants (ASUs), liquefaction equipment, and gas turbine-based power generation infrastructure required to support Starship orbital launch capability. This position is based at Cape Canaveral, FL.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead electrical design for air separation plants, liquefaction systems, and gas turbine power generation plants

• Work directly with internal and external customers to determine electrical requirements/needs and wants.

• Assist in the development of drawings, design documentation, and reports for aerospace, industrial, and commercial type projects.

• Write, negotiate, and manage construction contracts with subcontractors across multiple disciplines through contract close-out.

• Resolve design and construction conflicts in the field in real time.

• Coordinate with the electrical utility provider for design/engineering to ensure reliable power service to critical site infrastructure.

• Provide support and direction to electricians and technicians during the construction and activation of power distribution equipment.

• Interact with engineers, contractors, fabricators, and project stakeholders.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or other engineering discipline.
• 1+ years of experience in the design or build of building infrastructure electrical systems.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Primary experience with electrical and power distribution systems (
• Understanding of medium voltage system design and construction.
• Working knowledge of switchgear, motor control centers, variable frequency drives, transformers, building lighting, building construction specifications, and facility grounding.
• Experience with critical power infrastructure including UPS systems, backup generators, and automatic transfer switches.
• Experience creating and implementing process/design solutions with minimal impact to business operations.
• Ability to perform Arc Flash, Coordination, and Power Studies.
• Experience designing for and building in classified environments.
• Able to quickly assess an issue and assist technicians with troubleshooting and repair.
• Ability to work in a high-concentration, high-stress environment, under possible extended work hours and tight deadlines.
• Acute attention to detail, ability to see interactions with other systems to avoid problems.
• Familiarity with National Electric Code, National Fire Protection Association and International Building Code.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Ability to pass Air Force background check for Cape Canaveral.
• Perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights.
• Must be able to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
• Remain focused while working in hazardous environments, while wearing appropriate PPE.
• Must be able to lift up to 30lbs unassisted.
