Sr. Software Engineer (Vehicle Engineering)

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.

SR. SOFTWARE ENGINEER (VEHICLE ENGINEERING)

Be a member of the Artificial Intelligence Software Engineering team focusing on solving complex AI data problems for our launch vehicles and spacecrafts.

Our team is creating AI systems to accelerate software development and test, avionics design, flight data review, logistics and mission operations. Your work will directly support the world's largest satellite communication and AI constellations, accelerate rapid reuse of the Falcon launch vehicle, and contribute to the development of the world's largest rocket capable of sending humans to Mars.

The role will consist developing core AI technologies to accelerate engineering. You will be responsible for training internal engineering models on SpaceX data. This will consist of training models from scratch, fine tuning models, and using Reinforcement Learning (RL) to post train LLMs. You will also employ other Machine Learning (ML) techniques to intelligently extract knowledge hidden from SpaceX data. You will also be responsible for working with a diverse set of AI technologies including building Agentic engineering tools, including engineering RAG based tool, and engineering MCP servers. The AI tools and models will used to help engineers rapidly design and test space hardware including electronics and propulsion systems. The team will work closely with engineers throughout the company to create new AI systems to unlock engineering bottlenecks and transform how engineering data is accessed and used at SpaceX.
