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.
NEW GRADUATE ENGINEER, SOFTWARE
Our SpaceX team is working on the toughest and most audacious projects on our planet: making humanity multiplanetary. As a software engineer on the SpaceX team, you will demonstrate extreme ownership through detailed and thorough design, testing, and deployment - ultimately seeing your software through all aspects of its life cycle. You will work with many cross-disciplinary teams and will need to think at a system level to ensure that your code is viable.
What you'd do
- Expect a dynamic role doing what you’re best at. Our team is building high-performance flight hardware. Whatever your skill set, you’ll be aligned to the part of the program you’re most effectively able to contribute to.
- Develop highly reliable autonomous software systems and the simulations required to validate them.
- Own all aspects of software development, including design, testing, and integration to the mission.
- Work with counterpart engineering teams to develop and maintain launch and vehicle software.
- Get a front row seat to witness an impossible idea manifest in real life.
- The next few years will be incredibly dynamic as we transition from the challenge of building hardware to actually flying reusable rockets to orbit and deploying complex satellites to orbit.
What they want
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering or other engineering discipline.
- Graduating with a bachelor's degree, master's degree, or PhD in 2026 or 2027.
