SpaceX - Hawthorne, CA
posted 2 months ago
The application software team at SpaceX serves as the central nervous system of the organization, developing mission-critical applications that are essential for accelerating launch vehicle production and flight operations. This team is also responsible for creating systems that support the growth of Starlink into a global, fast, and reliable Internet service. We are seeking engineers who value fairness, respect, and support among teammates, and who are eager to contribute to a mission that is both inspiring and impactful. Currently, the team is focused on creating and evolving systems that facilitate the rapid build and reuse of Starship, as well as designing next-generation manufacturing software for high-throughput factories dedicated to Starlink. The applications we develop range from platforms that manage concurrent streams of data from numerous always-on assets, which are crucial for operating the world's largest satellite constellation, to public-facing systems that allow customers to join the Starlink network globally. Collaboration is key, as we work closely with engineers across the company to update our systems in response to crewed launches, Starship flights, and changes to the Starlink network. Aerospace experience is not a prerequisite for success in this role; instead, we are looking for intelligent, motivated, and collaborative engineers who enjoy problem-solving and wish to make a significant impact. You will have full ownership of challenging problems, working alongside a team of enthusiastic engineers with diverse perspectives to design and implement solutions that help SpaceX achieve its ambitious goals. The success of SpaceX's missions relies heavily on the software that you and your team will produce.
