Flight Software Infrastructure Engineer (Starlink)

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.

FLIGHT SOFTWARE INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER (STARLINK)

As an infrastructure engineer on the Starlink flight software team, you will be responsible for the software that enables rapid iteration and deployment of both ground and satellite software. You will look for slowdowns in developer iteration, inefficiencies in the build system, and unnecessary interface complexity, and fix them. You will engage closely with other Starlink engineers to identify the biggest challenges they are facing and resolve them. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the software that you write, from conception to test to maintenance. Your relentless commitment to streamlining the flight software ecosystem will be critical to the team’s ability to rapidly deliver high quality software.

Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving problems and want to make an impact on an inspiring mission.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Maintain flight code generation tooling for flight software and GNC engineers

• Maintain core flight software features that are shared across various satellite products

• Work closely with flight software developers to understand slow / error prone aspects of embedded software development and fix them

• Invent tools and processes that enable fast, accurate, and easy-to-use development and operational systems

• Engage ground software teams to understand where flight systems should be changed to simplify constellation operations
