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, PHYSICS - TEMPORARY
In this role, you will help enhance Grok by providing high-quality data annotations, labels, and inputs focused on physics. You will draw on your expertise in areas such as condensed matter physics, high-energy physics, nuclear physics, atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, quantum computing and information, computational physics, mathematical physics, and interdisciplinary fields such as biophysics to evaluate model outputs, identify errors in physical reasoning or underlying assumptions, and produce clear, rigorous solutions and explanations. Your work will help train Grok to distinguish flawed or inadequately justified approaches from solutions that are physically sound, logically rigorous, and scientifically accurate.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Utilize proprietary software applications to annotate and label data for designated projects
- Ensure the delivery of high-quality, accurate, and well-curated datasets that meet project standards
- Play a key role in training and developing new tasks by collaborating closely with technical teams to support the successful implementation of innovative technologies and initiatives
- Work with technical staff to enhance the design, functionality, and efficiency of annotation tools and workflows
- Contribute to advancing physics research by guiding AI models to solve complex scientific problems, improve research outcomes, and support scientific discovery and practical applications
- Select and solve problems across diverse areas of physics aligned with your expertise, providing detailed, accurate solutions and critically evaluating AI-generated responses
- Consistently interpret, analyze, and execute tasks in accordance with established guidelines, technical requirements, and project instructions
