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 enabling human life on Mars.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER, EMBEDDED SOFTWARE (STARLINK)
As an embedded engineer on the Starlink flight software team, you will design, develop and test software that is used to control SpaceX flight and ground systems. You will be responsible for both components that fly on robotic vehicles in space, and the ground systems that orchestrate the world’s largest satellite constellation.

Build prototypes and analyze system metrics to prove out key design concepts and quantify technical constraints
-
Own all aspects of software development, including design, testing, release, and flight operations
-
Provide strong technical leadership, focus on continuous improvement
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
-
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline OR 2+ years of experience in software development

-
Strong embedded software design and development skills
-
Experience designing fault tolerant, distributed, or real-time systems
