SpaceX is looking to solve complex data problems for their launch vehicles and spacecraft by creating AI systems to accelerate software development and testing, avionics design, flight data review, logistics, and mission operations. The goal is to unlock engineering bottlenecks and transform how engineering data is accessed and used.
Requirements
- Programming experience in Python, C++, or similar languages
- Building LLM RAG pipelines in LlamaIndex or similar
- Experience fine tuning LLM models
- Experience building complex Agentic workflows
- Experience training ML models for computer vision systems
- Experience working with AI systems and Machine learning and tools such as PyTorch, Tensorflow, or similar
- Experience with relational databases, non-relational databases, vector databases, PostgreSQL, Qdrant, or similar
Responsibilities
- Develop highly reliable and scalable artificial intelligence pipelines to empower engineers across all SpaceX departments
- Create new AI applications that will revolutionize day to day operations for engineers at SpaceX
- Build AI driven data review tools
- Collaborate with peers on architecture, design, and code reviews
- Build prototypes to prove out key AI design concepts and quantify technical constraints
- Own all aspects of AI software engineering and product development from initial prototyping
- Deep dive into engineering problems to find efficient AI solutions
Other
- Be a founding member of the Artificial Intelligence Software Engineering team
- Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here - rather, we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving problems and want to make an impact on an inspiring mission.
- You will have full ownership of challenging problems and work with a team of enthusiastic engineers to design and produce AI solutions that enable SpaceX to move towards our goals at a rapid pace.
- Develop security policies to protect data and user based policies to develop robust AI standards
- Ensure that AI systems are properly vetted to ensure accurate and reliable output
- Must be available to work extended hours and weekends when needed to meet critical deadlines
- To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
