Job description

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 ENGINEERING, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING (RAPTOR)
We are looking for good people and driven, adaptable, resilient software engineers with experience developing software to accelerate quality, speed, and efficiency of manufacturing processes at SpaceX. Our team is building out the next generation of software for metal 3D printing. In this role, you will be developing the core software operating our additive manufacturing machines. Your scope will span controls, data acquisition, build logic, and in-situ monitoring. Your software will literally turn design into reality. You will be integral to our efforts to develop the most advanced rocket engines in the world. You will also contribute to the best in class in process monitoring solutions for data collection and automated analysis. You will have the opportunity to make an impact on the future of manufacturing at SpaceX.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Architect and develop software for an advanced, production-scale metal 3D printing system
  • Collaborate with automation and controls engineers to connect software to motion and control systems
  • Work with our additive manufacturing engineers to improve our print process quality and speed via software and hardware changes
  • Develop production-ready control software and algorithms for the lasing and control systems in the printers
  • Work closely with our production engineers and technicians to provide the best first principles solution to their needs
  • Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies
  • Review code developed by other developers, and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency)

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline and 2+ years of software development experience; OR 4+ years of professional experience building software in lieu of a degree
  • Experience with writing production code in C++
  • Experience with modern continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools
  • Experience working in a Linux environment

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Experience with libraries such as QT, VTK, Boost, CUDA, and tools such as CMake
  • Experience with microcontrollers or FPGA computing hardware
  • Real-time embedded software development experience
  • Experience with laser powder bed fusion or similar additive manufacturing processes

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:
Level I: $120,000.00 - $145,000.00/per year
Level II: $140,000.00 - $170,000.00/per year
