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.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER (STARLINK)

As a Software Engineer on the PCBA design and manufacturing team, you will be responsible for building and maintaining software that interfaces with manufacturing equipment on our production line, with the goal of making our PCBA manufacturing process faster and more reliable.

• Develop highly reliable software solutions that are used across SpaceX production and engineering

• Create new applications that improve how SpaceX production operates

• Build prototypes to prove out key design concepts and quantify technical constraints

• Deep dive into users’ problems to find and create efficient solutions

• Integrate electronics design software to manufacturing equipment

• Display ownership throughout and following the release process for applications
