Job Description

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

SpaceXSI seeks extraordinary students to join us for Summer 2027 business operations roles. As an intern, you will work closely with your mentor and other employees who will help you apply your knowledge and grow your skills on projects that have a significant impact. If you’ve demonstrated a commitment to academic success and motivation to apply your knowledge outside of the classroom, you are a great candidate! 

SpaceXSI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. This includes Grok, the frontier AI model for everything you need, trained on the world's largest supercluster, and developing Starmind, a new constellation of satellites capturing solar energy in space to power low-cost, high-performance AI compute for Earth. 

Summer business internships are available in New York, NY and Palo Alto, CA.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Must be enrolled in a bachelor’s degree or graduate program
  • 3+ months experience in corporate and business functions (data analysis, finance, human resources, IT, government affairs, legal, advertising, and sales is applicable) 

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Strong interpersonal skills (examples: leading a student organization or working successfully in teams)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with different groups and teams
  • Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements
  • Ability to work independently and in a team, take initiative, and communicate effectively 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Able to work full time, onsite for a minimum of 12 consecutive weeks beginning in May or June 2027

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Business Operations Intern/Freshman/Sophomore: $24.50 USD per hour

Business Operations Intern/Completed Bachelor's: $25.50 USD per hour     
Business Operations Intern/Completed Master's: $26 USD per hour 

Your salary will be determined by academic level. Hourly pay is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI. You may also be eligible for a stipend to subsidize relocation costs, as well as access to our comprehensive medical coverage and a 401(k) retirement plan.
