The opportunity

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

What you'll do

  • Design and train highly reliable, scalable AI/ML models that empower engineers across all SpaceX departments

  • Design agentic AI systems and multi-agent workflows to perform engineering tasks

  • Build and optimize large-scale machine learning training pipelines to create: next-generation AI applications that transform day-to-day engineering operations

  • Develop and fine-tune foundation models (LLMs, vision models, multimodal: systems) for high-impact SpaceX use cases

  • Create production-grade AI tools for data analysis, anomaly detection,: predictive modeling, and automated decision-making

  • Collaborate with peers on AI architecture, model design, training strategies, and code reviews

What they're looking for

  • Rapidly build and iterate on AI prototypes, rigorously quantifying model: performance, accuracy, and technical constraints
  • Own the complete AI model lifecycle: from data preparation and training infrastructure to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement
  • Deep-dive into complex engineering problems to identify and implement efficient, custom-trained AI solutions
  • Establish rigorous AI standards for model validation, safety, reliability, bias mitigation, and data security
