SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, a16z and Founders Fund.
About the role
The Data Center Engineering team designs training and inference compute clusters from first principles, pushing thermal, electrical, and optical systems to the limit of physics. We operate as a highly cross disciplinary team comprised of mechanical, electrical, optical, and software engineers, all working to maximize the efficiency, reliability, and deployment speed of terrestrial computing to serve rapidly scaling demand. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, math, or science discipline, OR 2+ years of professional experience in software development in lieu of a degree (internship experience is applicable)
- Development experience in C, C++, or assembly
- Experience with application development and distributed systems architecture in a Linux environment
- Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines
- Ability to travel to up to 30% to support on-site testing at data center facilities
More about this role
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.

As an Embedded Software Engineer on our team, you will design, validate, and ship code that reliably and autonomously manages hundreds of thousands of coherently connected GPUs. Your software will span the entire hardware stack from individual firmware ICs up through cluster aggregation networking, ensuring our compute fabric operates at peak efficiency and gracefully handles various fault conditions. To empirically define the limit of physics in our computing hardware, you will also...
