Job description

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.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS, or equivalent) for mapping and spatial analysis
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD (preferably Civil 3D or similar) for utility/telecom drawings
• Basic understanding of fiber optic OSP concepts (conduit systems, aerial/buried placement, splicing, and terminations)
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce clear, accurate technical drawings
• Prior internship or project experience in telecom, utility, or civil infrastructure
• Familiarity with fiber strand counts, duct banks, and standard OSP construction practices
• Experience with Google Earth, KML/KMZ files, or CAD-to-GIS data exchange
