GROUND SOFTWARE ENGINEER, LABVIEW (FALCON & DRAGON)

As a Software Engineer on the Ground Software team, you will develop and support software solutions for complex engineering problems across our Falcon and Dragon programs. Our suite of Ground Software applications is used by operators throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle. In your role, you will interface daily with: launch engineers commanding our fleet of Falcon rockets; mission control operators providing smooth flights for astronauts aboard Dragon; test engineers static firing Merlin engines; and offshore recovery engineers capturing spacecraft and rockets and bringing them safely back to shore. Each of these teams relies on the Ground Software user interfaces and backend control systems that you will create and support.

You are the engineer other engineers can count on. You embrace every problem with enthusiasm. You drive towards solutions. You remove hurdles, are a self-starter, team player. You have the hunger to venture into unknown areas and make systems work.

Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving problems and want to make an impact on a super inspiring mission. You will have full ownership of challenging problems, working with a team of enthusiastic engineers designing solutions that propel SpaceX toward our goals at a rapid pace. Mission success at SpaceX depends on the software you produce with the Ground Software team.

  • Configure and optimize the automated testing and deployment systems used to maintain over 200 active ground software systems across the company
  • Provide software technical support in mission control during vehicle launch and critical on-orbit activities
  • Maintain and upgrade the DAQ/LabVIEW systems that control the launch pads, test sites, and recovery vessels
  • Analyze test results and bugs that require in-depth investigations
  • Interface directly with external customers and agencies (NASA, USSF, FAA), including managing relationships and steering mission requirements

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or science discipline AND 3+ years of experience OR 5+ years of professional experience as a software engineer
  • 3+ years of experience with LabVIEW software development
  • Familiarity with source code control systems

  • Experience with network debugging across all OSI layers (Wireshark)
  • Strong grasp of Infosec principles such as securing network connections and hardening applications against failure
  • Ability to work quickly and accurately in a fast-paced environment during launch and mission operations

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Must be available to work extended hours and weekends when needed to meet critical deadlines
