Job description
Job Summary:
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. They are seeking a Backend Software Engineer for the GNC team within Starlink to develop highly reliable software systems that manage thousands of satellites in low-earth orbit, focusing on collision avoidance and space situational awareness. The role involves participating in architecture and design reviews, developing prototypes, and deploying reliable software as part of a continuous integration system.
Responsibilities:
• Develop highly reliable and available software systems for managing thousands of satellites in low-earth orbit.
• Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews.
• Develop prototypes to prove out key design concepts and quantify technical constraints.
• Develop tools for software development and deployment, data analysis and visualization, and test execution across multiple environments, including virtualized hardware environments, real hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing.
• Deploy reliable software, test execution, and data analysis as part of a continuous integration and release system.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelors degree in STEM & 1+ year of industry and/or internship experience; OR 2+ years of professional software development experience in lieu of a STEM degree.
• Professional experience writing code in C++, Python, Golang, or similar.
• Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
Preferred:
• Strong professional experience writing C or C++ in a production environment
• Experience with distributed systems or large-scale consumer internet systems
• Production experience with containerization technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)
• Understanding of version control, testing, continuous integration, build, deployment, and monitoring.
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, or similar)
• Experience with profiling and improving application performance.
• Experience in real-time rendering, game engine development, physics simulation, or other real-time, resource-constrained, high-performance computing is a plus
• Previous experience with satellites or spacecraft systems is a plus
Company:
SpaceX develops and operates rockets, satellite networks, and AI infrastructure including launch, connectivity, and cloud services. Founded in 2002, the company is headquartered in Hawthorne, USA, with a team of 1001-5000 employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
