About the role
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.
We're hiring Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic enterprise customers across Life Sciences. You'll be the technical face of SpaceXAI for the scientific organizations shortening the path from lab to market: helping programmers, researchers, scientists, and commercial teams evaluate Cursor, running proofs of concept, and making sure they see the full value of agentic coding in their real workflows.
You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product, and Engineering as a deal partner, not a demo resource. You'll scope solutions, demonstrate capabilities, and act as a trusted advisor across the stakeholders that matter in Life Sciences: engineering leaders, architects, developers, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT. This is a highly customer-facing role where deep technical fluency, commercial instinct, and clear communication drive adoption and influence product direction.
What you'll do
Partner with AEs to own technical discovery, demos, POCs, and expansion with technical validation
Build trusted relationships across engineering, scientific computing, R&D, and commercial IT
Go deep in research-heavy and regulated environments: developer workflows, AI tooling, complex setups
Help customers connect Cursor to outcomes that matter: faster R&D cycles and a shorter path from lab to market
Deliver technical presentations, whiteboards, and workshops for scientific and commercial audiences
Act as the customer's technical advocate internally with Product and Engineering
Partner with post-sales to hand off cleanly and set up onboarding for success
Stay sharp on Cursor and the competitive landscape so you can go toe to toe in the room
You may be a fit if
You have strong communication skills and executive presence, equally comfortable coding alongside developers or presenting to CTOs and scientific leaders
You understand the SDLC and can connect technical detail to business and scientific impact
You have hands-on technical fluency (not full-time eng): workflows, AI tooling, complex environments
You have deal-partner instinct: co-own with AEs and navigate complex stakeholder maps
You're customer-obsessed and can translate technical detail into why it matters for the organization
You have experience in Field Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Pre-Sales, or Consulting
You're excited by Life Sciences and comfortable learning regulated / research-heavy orgs fast
You're motivated by putting AI in the hands of people accelerating benefits for humanity
