SpaceX recently added two job openings in Pecan Island, Louisiana, indicating that its local infrastructure development is progressing. One position is for a senior regulatory counsel responsible for power approvals for SpaceX's AI data centers and computing sites, including large-scale power permits, grid connection, transmission, generation, and power contract negotiations. The other new position is for Director of Infrastructure Materials Management at Starbase, responsible for material procurement and receiving, inventory management, production line distribution, and logistics system construction for the new Starship project base. This position requires initial work at Starbase in Texas, with a relocation to Louisiana in early 2027. These two job openings, one focusing on power approval capabilities for computing infrastructure and the other on operational readiness for the Starship production base, suggest that SpaceX may be building cross-disciplinary capabilities for its Louisiana project.
