About the role
As published on xAI's job board, updated Oct 22, 2026.
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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

- Analyze performance data to identify trends, degradation patterns, and optimization opportunities; collaborate with Tesla and internal SpaceXSI teams on improvements.
- Maintain comprehensive records of maintenance activities, service reports, downtime events, spare parts usage, and key performance metrics.
- Support the commissioning of new Megapack deployments and their integration with SpaceXSI facilities.
- Ensure full compliance with all safety protocols, Tesla procedures, manufacturer guidelines, and local regulations.
- Participate in root-cause analysis for incidents and contribute to continuous improvement of Megapack operations and maintenance strategies.
