Sr. Electrical Commissioning Technician

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are seeking a highly skilled Sr. Electrical Commissioning Technician to support the buildout and energization of SpaceXAI's high-performance data centers. In this critical hands-on role, you will perform commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting of electrical systems that power our next-generation AI supercomputing infrastructure.

You will work closely with construction, engineering, and operations teams to ensure safe, reliable, and high-quality electrical systems from initial installation through full system turnover. This is a full-time, onsite role with significant travel to SpaceXAI data center sites.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Execute electrical commissioning activities for medium and low voltage power distribution systems, switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, generators, PDUs, and associated controls in data center environments.
• Perform point-to-point wiring checks, functional testing, calibration, and system integration verification.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electrical issues during pre-commissioning, commissioning, and startup phases.
• Develop and execute detailed commissioning test procedures, scripts, and documentation in accordance with project specifications and industry standards.
• Collaborate with EPC contractors, OEM vendors, and SpaceXAI engineers to coordinate energization sequences and integrated system testing.
• Ensure strict adherence to safety protocols, LOTO procedures, and quality standards during all commissioning activities.
• Maintain accurate as-built documentation, test records, and commissioning reports.
• Support training of operations and maintenance teams on commissioned electrical systems.
• Participate in constructability reviews and provide field feedback to improve design and installation quality.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• 3+ years of hands-on electrical commissioning or field technician experience in data centers, power plants, or large industrial facilities.
• Strong working knowledge of electrical systems up to 480V (medium voltage experience preferred), including switchgear, motor control centers, variable frequency drives, and protective relaying.
• Experience with commissioning test equipment (meggers, multimeters, relay test sets, power quality analyzers, etc.).
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, NETA).
• Demonstrated ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, and one-line diagrams.
• Strong safety mindset with current OSHA 10/30 or equivalent training.
• Willingness to work extended hours, nights, and weekends during critical commissioning windows.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Prior commissioning experience on hyperscale data center projects or mission-critical facilities.
• NETA certification (Level II or higher) or equivalent (e.g., NICET, Journeyman Electrician license).
• Experience with data center power infrastructure including redundant UPS, generators, and busway systems.
• Knowledge of PLC/controls troubleshooting and SCADA systems.
• Proficiency with commissioning management software (e.g., CxPro, Procore, or similar).
• Technical degree or trade school certification in Electrical Engineering Technology or related field.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Ability to travel extensively to SpaceXAI construction sites and remain onsite during peak commissioning phases.
• Capability to work in industrial environments, climb ladders, lift moderate loads, and wear PPE for extended periods.
