## About the Role

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in power architecture for high-density systems (100kW-1MW/rack), including AI/ML infrastructure
Expertise in AC/DC and DC-DC converters, power module design, and high-current distribution system design
Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across diverse teams, from individual contributors to executive leadership

## Description

We are building the future of computing in partnering with SpaceX - a distributed, AI-optimized data center infrastructure operating in space. The terawatts orbital AI data center will be powered by Dojo - our custom supercomputer designed for the neural networks behind SpaceX, xAI, FSD, and Optimus.
We are seeking a visionary Power Architect to solve the ultimate engineering hurdle: 1 TW power delivery in orbit. This is not an incremental data center power management improvement, this requires first-principles innovation to deliver the power from the solar panels down to the silicon. If you are a strategic innovator with deep expertise in complex power systems, we invite you to lead this frontier.
What You'll Do

Architect & Innovate:Design reliable, scalable, and highly efficient end-to-end power solutions for orbital environments
Modeling & Optimization:Develop high-fidelity power estimation tools for AI server and rack-level systems; lead performance-vs-power trade-off analyses
Cross-Functional Leadership:Partner with internal silicon, packaging, SI/PI, and thermal teams-alongside SpaceX-to drive designs from concept to high-volume production
Advanced R&D:Evaluate emerging technologies in high-voltage to sub-volt chip conversion and delivery to maintain a competitive edge
Validate:Direct the prototyping and rigorous validation of next- power architectures
What You'll Bring
