Job Details
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.
EMBEDDED SOFTWARE ENGINEER, STARLINK ENTERPRISE & AVIATION
At SpaceX we're leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world's most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 6M+ users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system - thousands of satellites, customer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for communities and businesses around the globe.
The Starlink Enterprise & Aviation software team is a fully verticalized team that ships products to Starlink's most valuable customers. We work closely with major airlines, among other enterprise verticals, to deliver Starlink's fundamental new technology to industry leaders.
As an (Embedded) Software Engineer on the Starlink Enterprise & Aviation Software team, you will be solving challenges underpinning every aspect of the program's growth across a variety of global verticals for our customers. You will work on the device software within Starlink's antennas, WiFi routers, and power supplies to enable new features, incredible reliability, and an overall great user experience. Your work may include bringing up the newest Starlink aviation boards, editing kernel drivers to enable new networking features, or changing the API layer to allow better observability on the devices.
Our software engineers are responsible for the complete lifecycle of the software they create, including design, development, testing, and support. You will be responsible for identifying the best solution for Starlink and executing on the idea.

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.
