The listing
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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
AI TUTOR, MATERIALS SCIENCE - TEMPORARY
In this role, you will help enhance Grok by providing high-quality data annotations, labels, and inputs focused on materials science. You will draw on your expertise in areas such as energy materials, semiconductors, nanomaterials, metals and alloys, biomaterials, polymers, ceramics, and glasses to evaluate model outputs, identify errors in structure-property reasoning or processing assumptions, and produce clear, rigorous analyses and explanations. Your work will help train Grok to distinguish flawed or inadequately justified materials science analyses from those that are scientifically accurate, well-grounded, and practically insightful.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Use proprietary software applications to annotate and label data for designated projects
- Support the delivery of high-quality, accurate, and well-curated datasets that meet project standards
- Collaborate with technical teams to develop and train new tasks, contributing to the successful implementation of innovative technologies and initiatives
- Work closely with technical staff to improve the design, functionality, and efficiency of annotation tools and workflows
- Advance materials science research by guiding AI models in solving complex scientific problems and supporting scientific discovery and practical applications
- Select and solve problems across various subfields of materials science aligned with your expertise, providing detailed solutions and critically evaluating AI-generated responses
- Interpret, analyze, and execute tasks accurately in accordance with established guidelines and project requirements
POSITION DETAILS:
