ABOUT SPACEX
We seek to accelerate the course of human history by developing the technologies necessary for multi-planetary civilization.
We build rockets and spacecraft from the ground up, utilizing much of our own electronics, software, vehicle structures, and engine systems. The Falcon launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft are among the most ambitious engineering systems in the world. Dragon holds the distinction of being the first commercially developed spacecraft to have achieved orbit, rendezvous with the International Space Station, and a safe return to Earth. SpaceX is advancing the state of the art in a field previously dominated by nation states.
Our next developments include a heavy lift launch vehicle, human transportation, and a reusable launch system that will drastically reduce the cost of access to space.
SOFTWARE AUTOMATION MANAGER
As the manager of the Software Automation team you will be at the front and center of SpaceX’s efforts to shift our flight software into production mode. You will build and manage the team that delivers tools and infrastructure for automating the preparation, test, review and delivery of flight software code and configuration data. You will work with the flight software team and other engineering departments throughout the company to drive SpaceX closer to a fully-automated launch system.
If the idea of specifying an orbit and then pressing the “LAUNCH” button appeals to you, we encourage you to apply!

ABOUT SPACEX FLIGHT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
The Flight Software team is responsible for the software that runs on-board SpaceX rockets and spacecraft, but we do more than embedded software engineering: We also do simulations, distributed data management, and analysis tools used in preparation for a launch. Our problem domains span embedded, fault-tolerant, flight control, web, mobile, cloud, and big data computing. The products that we develop run on low-power space computing platforms, mobile devices, desktop systems, and in data centers.
We are an organizationally flat group of a few dozen software engineers. Although we work on and support critical systems, you wouldn’t know it from observing our office. When it comes to the code we are unrelentingly meticulous and thorough, but when it comes to people we are big on open communication, flexible hours and a casual work environment.
At SpaceX, the problem domain is full of exciting challenges, and “launching” the product will be like no other product launch you’ve ever experienced!
