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
Our team builds software that takes recurring, time-consuming work off engineers' plates so they can focus on hard engineering, from automated review of flight and test data to AI agents that help engineers prepare for missions and investigate anomalies. Your work will directly accelerate rapid reuse of the Falcon launch vehicle, support the world's largest satellite communication and AI constellations, and contribute to the development of the world's largest rocket capable of sending humans to Mars. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, engineering, math, or physics, OR 4+ years of professional experience building automation for practical engineering use cases in lieu of a degree
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering with a focus on automation tools and/or AI integrations (professional and personal projects are applicable)
- 5+ years of programming experience in Python
- Willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
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.
