The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Develop highly reliable, real-time software that determines which beams: (user, laser, gateway, etc) should be formed in order to provide the best possible user experience for our low-latency, high-bandwidth satellite-based global network.
Participate in and lead architecture, design, and code reviews.
Develop prototypes and manage experiments to prove out key design concepts.
Develop tools for software development and deployment, data analysis and: visualization, and test execution across multiple environments, including virtualized hardware environments, real hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline: and 5+ years of professional experience in software development experience; OR 7+ years of professional experience in software development in lieu of a degree.
Development experience in assembly, C, or C++.
What they're looking for
- Knowledgeable in real-time rendering, game engine development, physics: simulation, or other real-time, resource-constrained, high-performance computing.
- Knowledgeable in network topology, numerical optimization techniques, graph: theoretic approaches, or convex optimization.
- Developed, debugged, and deployed software that has been used in real world applications/projects.
- Creative approach to problem solving, exceptional analytical skills, and engineering fundamentals.
