SR. GROUND SOFTWARE ENGINEER (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 remove hurdles, are a self-starter, team player. You have the hunger to venture into unknown areas and make the system 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Develop new and optimize existing software codebases and systems used to test, launch, command, and monitor the SpaceX family of Falcon Launch Vehicles and Dragon Spacecraft
  • Deeply own the lifecycle of software, including rolling out to operations, managing configurations, maintaining and upgrading, and supporting end-users
  • 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 5+ years of experience OR 8+ years of professional experience as a software engineer
  • 5+ years of experience with one or more of the following systems programming languages: C, C++, Rust, or LabVIEW
  • 5+ years of experience with one or more of the following scripting languages: Python, PowerShell, or bash

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • 8+ years of programming experience
  • Electrical or Mechanical Engineering background
  • Enjoys end-user-facing roles for support and interfacing with cross-functional teams
  • Experience controlling DAQ hardware
  • Strong grasp of Infosec principles such as securing network connections and hardening applications against failure
  • Deep experience with network debugging across all OSI layers (Wireshark)
  • Broad understanding of the landscape of software engineering design patterns and principles
  • 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
  • Occasional travel to launch sites and customer sites for testing and/or operations (
