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.

As a Fiber Supervisor at SpaceX’s Starbase data center, you’ll lead the fiber optic installation and maintenance teams that keep critical network infrastructure online. Working onsite with project management and superintendents, you’ll plan work, direct technicians, and own quality, safety, and schedule on datacenter fiber projects. Expect to stay hands-on, coach the crew, and make sure systems run reliably in support of SpaceX's mission of accelerating human scientific discovery through AI.
