Satellite Systems Software 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.

SATELLITE SYSTEMS SOFTWARE ENGINEER (STARLINK)

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 millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer 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.

As a software engineer working in Starlink’s Constellation Engineering organization, you will build and maintain the systems that maintain the world’s largest satellite constellation. You will work on ensuring we can safely interact with other operators, that we can maintain command and control capabilities of our satellites, and that we are able to monitor and manage the fleet. As a SpaceX engineer, you will be responsible for the complete lifecycle of the code and products you create, from inception and development, to testing and rollout. You will write software that both runs as part of our distributed ground system, and that flies in space aboard the satellites.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop highly reliable and available software systems for managing thousands of satellites in low-earth orbit.

• Be accountable and respo
