Job description
SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission.

ABOUT THE ROLE: The fire protection technician keeps facility fire and life safety systems working: fire suppression, sprinklers, fire alarm and detection, extinguishers, and related life safety equipment.
