SpaceX is ramping up hiring as it moves forward with Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to build a network of one million satellite-based data centers.
On Friday, the company announced openings for “numerous critical engineering roles” focused on developing solar-powered space data centers - including the position of “Space Laser Engineer.”
The recruitment drive comes shortly after SpaceX’s $250 billion acquisition of xAI, which turned the company into the world’s most valuable private enterprise with an estimated valuation of $1.25 trillion. Musk described orbital data centers as a key driver behind the deal.
Despite the bold vision, industry experts remain cautious, citing the challenges of heat management in the vacuum of space and the potential hazards of orbital debris from launching up to a million satellites.
