About the role

SpaceXAI in Memphis, TN, seeks an Optical Engineer to own the optical layer of AI compute fabrics. You will design fiber layouts, specify components, verify link budgets, and lead production of a scalable optical plant for AI clusters. The role requires a physics/engineering background and hands-on testing with fiber/optical equipment; travel to manufacturing/facility sites is expected. On-site.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
