Elon Musk's SpaceX hires engineers via brief CV for AI supercomputing hubs
Elon Musk announced that SpaceX is recruiting engineers and skilled craftsmen to build and operate the most powerful AI supercomputing clusters on Earth and beyond. Applicants are asked to submit only a résumé and three bullet‑point statements of their expertise. The hiring drive supports SpaceX’s plan to create off‑world data centres capable of delivering up to 100 terawatt of computing power annually, a key element of Musk’s vision of a multi‑planet civilization that includes a self‑sustaining city on Mars and a lunar economy. Musk noted that the AI boom has spurred a global surge in data‑centre construction, with the United States alone hosting more than 3,000 operational facilities and about 1,500 projects in development, according to Pew Research. The recruitment notice was posted on the social platform X on 1 August.
