  • Experience in data analysis using Python and SQL, R, or similar languages.
  • Self-starter attitude, energy, and the ability to communicate effectively across business and technical disciplines.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to apply first principles to business problems.
  • Knowledge of software development life-cycle and release process.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites, other SpaceX locations, and events as needed.

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks.
