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.

  • Develop systems that allow for test execution across multiple environments such as virtualized hardware or real hardware-in-the-loop simulations
  • Bringup and maintain servers and networking for use in the factory
  • Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or a STEM discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering in lieu of a degree (internship experience is applicable)
