Space Exploration Technologies
Work to advance the course of human history and pave the way to Mars.
SpaceX is a US based advanced technology company founded by residing CEO and CTO, Elon Musk. SpaceX builds rockets and spacecraft from the ground up including cutting edge electronics, software, vehicle structures, and engine systems. The Falcon Launch Vehicle and Dragon Spacecraft programs are some of the most ambitious engineering systems in the world, designed to support our ultimate goals of aviation-like spaceflight capability and making humanity a multi-planet species.
"SpaceX is like Special Forces… we do the missions that others think are impossible. We have goals that are absurdly ambitious, but we're going to make them happen. We have the potential here at SpaceX to have an incredible effect on the future of humanity and life itself."
– Elon Musk
If you’re undaunted by the impossible, actively seeking out insanely challenging projects under tight schedules, and want to work with a remarkable organization pushing the envelope of human exploration, then you will want to be part of the SpaceX legacy.
We are actively seeking the brightest minds from all industries and technologies to continue building our world class team. Please visit spacex.com for additional information.
Software Engineer (Embedded Linux)
Responsibilities:
- Selected candidates will join the SpaceX flight software team, developing flight control avionics for the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles and the Dragon space capsule.
- The team is developing highly reliable avionics systems, which include vehicle housekeeping; mission event sequencing; guidance, navigation & control; rendezvous & docking; communications networking and fault detection, isolation & recovery.
- Successful applicants will take responsibility for the development, testing and deployment of mission-critical avionics systems as part of a close-knit team of exceptional software engineers.
Basic Qualifications:
- Undergraduate degree in engineering or 4+ years of experience in software engineering
- Must have 5+ years of C
- Must have 5+ years of Linux system programming
- Must have 5+ years of Linux kernel internals including device drivers and board support
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Extensive experience with C++ and Object-Oriented Design skills
- Experience developing embedded systems, particularly 'Board Bring Up'
- Experience programming/testing high reliability systems
- Experience writing software for real-time systems is also strongly preferred
ITAR REQUIREMENTS:
- To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
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!
