OPERATIONS ENGINEER, APPLIED AI (APPLICATION SOFTWARE)
As an Operations Engineer on SpaceX’s team, you will act as a key technical partner. You’ll help internal teams across different programs explore the capabilities of different platforms and design smart, effective strategies for incorporating large language models into their products and infrastructure. This hybrid role blends strong technical depth with strong interpersonal skills to empower different teams within the company to create powerful AI-powered solutions while prioritizing safety and responsible deployment.
You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering teams to support them from early exploration all the way through successful implementation. Using your engineering background, you will build practical testing approaches and create robust system designs that deliver meaningful results.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Work alongside internal teams to uncover their needs and design technical approaches that closely align with their goals
Serve as the main technical point of contact, supporting end-to-end while coordinating with internal teams to ensure strong outcomes
Build prototypes and proof-of-concept applications that clearly illustrate effective ways to integrate with Spok/Grok
Advise on system-on-system architecture and support teams in developing advanced applications powered by LLMs – Large Language Models
Keep current evolving LLM technologies, best practices, and the tools commonly used in fast-moving environments
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor’s degree in a STEM or engineering discipline
1+ years of experience working in engineering or operations/process development
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Hands-on experience supporting cross- functional teams and a solid grasp of their fast-paced environment, limited resources, and specific pain points, specifically in engineering disciplines
Ability to code along with a track record of developing production-level applications
Experience with shipping real-world applications using large language models and related machine learning tools to lead cross-functional groups
Knowledge of common LLM techniques including prompt design, evaluation methods, agent systems, and retrieval architecture
Previous experience working with AI product design, development, integration, and/or test
Demonstrated ability to work under pressure and deliver expeditious results across multiple parallel priorities
Previous experience innovating process improvements, AI integrations, and AI system design in an enterprise setting
Positive, "can-do" attitude, self-starter, and ability to work in a high-pace dynamic environment
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
Must be willing to travel up to 25% of the time to visit different sites
Ability to pass Air Force background checks for Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg
This role requires you to be onsite. Remote and/or hybrid work will not be considered

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.
