About this role
Xai's SpaceXSI division is building the infrastructure for large-scale artificial intelligence systems, and this network engineer role sits at the center of that effort. You'd be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining both the wired and wireless networks that support their campus and data center operations—work that directly enables their Colossus supercomputers and AI models. This means hands-on involvement with enterprise-grade switching and routing, network access control, Wi-Fi deployment, and the automation tools needed to keep complex infrastructure running reliably.
The role demands deep technical expertise across multiple networking domains: data center-class switches from Cisco, Juniper, or Arista; wireless LAN controllers; fiber optics and wavelength division multiplexing; and core protocols like BGP, DNS, and DHCP. You'll also develop automation tools, likely using Python, and maintain documentation and monitoring across the network stack. A CCNP, CCIE, or equivalent certification is preferred, though not required if you have five or more years of hands-on network engineering experience.
This is a full-time, hybrid-eligible position in Memphis, though the job description specifies that you must be onsite—remote work is not an option. You'll need to be available for extended hours and weekends when needed, and you must have a valid driver's license. The role suits someone with solid foundational knowledge who's ready to work on infrastructure at significant scale.
