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:
The Supervisor, OSP Fiber will lead a team of five fiber technicians responsible for installing, splicing, testing, and maintaining outside plant fiber infrastructure for a new data center. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set daily priorities, own crew safety and quality, and still work in the field alongside the team. You will be accountable for schedule, as-built accuracy, and delivering a reliable OSP fiber plant from construction through turnover and ongoing operations.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Hire, train, schedule, and develop a team of fiber technicians; provide coaching, performance feedback, and coverage planning
- Plan and assign daily OSP work (aerial and underground placement, vault/handhole work, splicing, terminations, and testing) to meet data center construction and cutover schedules
- Lead by example as a working supervisor; perform splicing, testing, and field work as needed
- Enforce safety, PPE, lockout, traffic control, and utility-locate practices; stop work when conditions are unsafe
- Own quality of splices, OTDR/OLTS results, labeling, and as-built records; drive rework to zero
- Coordinate with OSP engineering, construction, utilities, and data center teams on design changes, access, and outage windows
- Track production, quality, and material usage; report status, risks, and resource needs to leadership
- Manage tools, fusion splicers, test equipment, vehicles, and fiber/consumable inventory
- Ensure field work matches issued drawings and company standards; capture redlines and close as-builts with engineering
- Support commissioning, emergency restoration, and after-hours work as required for a 24/7 data center environment
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate
