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.

- Act as the primary technical point of contact for compute infrastructure definition, requirements, and delivery across all customer accounts.
- Lead technical implementation, integration testing, provisioning, and go-live activities for GPU/CPU clusters and supporting infrastructure.
- Provide deep expertise on compute-specific elements including GPUs/CPUs, high-performance networking, data center connectivity, and related systems.
- Handle technical escalations, root-cause analysis, troubleshooting, and drive resolution to ensure SOW and SLA compliance.
- Represent compute systems in cross-functional trades, risk discussions, and issue resolution with internal teams, management, and customers.
- Interface with Hardware, Network, Facilities, Cloud Compute, SRE, and Program Management teams to ensure successful end-to-end delivery.
- Participate in verification testing, performance characterization, reliability assessments, and continuous optimization.
- Support expansion planning, capacity scaling, and new use cases across customer accounts.
- Ensure on-time deliverables, proactive risk mitigation, and overall mission success for all customers.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or other STEM discipline.
- 7+ years of hands-on professional experience in large-scale compute, data center, or hyperscale infrastructure environments.
- Experience leading technical implementations involving GPUs/CPUs and high-performance systems.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- Master’s degree or higher in a STEM discipline.
- Prior experience as a Technical Account Manager, Solutions Architect, or equivalent supporting enterprise or hyperscale compute deployments.
- Deep knowledge of InfiniBand, RoCE, NVIDIA networking technologies (NCCL, NVLink, GPU Direct RDMA), and large GPU cluster architectures.
- Experience with AI/ML training and inference infrastructure at scale.
- Strong background in performance tuning, security/compliance implementation, and hybrid/cloud integration.
- Demonstrated ability to assess risk and make decisions with incomplete data in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interface effectively with customers and internal stakeholders.
- Hands-on experience with Linux environments, orchestration tools, and infrastructure monitoring.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed during critical implementation, testing, and incident response periods.
- Willingness to travel (up to 25%) to data center sites and customer locations.
- Must be comfortable operating with extreme ownership in a demanding, high-expectation environment.
- This role offers the opportunity to drive cutting-edge terrestrial compute infrastructure that powers next-generation AI capabilities for a key strategic partner. If you thrive on ownership and technical excellence, we encourage you to apply.

SpaceX Insights
What We Do
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.
