<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">SOFTWARE ENGINEER, STARLINK ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS (SPACE LASERS)</span></strong></p> <p>Starlink is SpaceX's unprecedented satellite constellation designed to deliver high-speed broadband internet to remote areas around the world. By deploying thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), we've created a global network that bridges the digital divide, enabling reliable connectivity for homes, businesses, vessels, aircraft, and more.</p> <p>As a member of the Enterprise Products Software team, you'll own software for bring-up and operation of new Starlink products including:</p> <ul> <li data-uuid="2364d6a3-7146-4e0b-bf5a-95ef92b4a0d6">Plaser, our space laser product which connects third-party vehicles to the Starlink constellation</li> <li data-uuid="dc652a5e-9916-4415-8d15-a82190b87d58">Community Gateway, our terrestrial very high throughput parabolic antenna</li> <li data-uuid="25e5b0b8-0330-49dc-9134-53223a91a015">Starlink Aviation, enabling tens of millions of passengers to experience Starlink worldwide and more to-be-launched products that leverage Starlink in new industries</li> </ul> <p>You'll drive features at different layers of the stack, including embedded applications, backend systems, and user interfaces. Prior aerospace experience is not a requirement to be successful here - we're looking for ambitious engineers who thrive when they're diving deep on challenging, interdisciplinary problems.</p> <p>Our software engineers are responsible for the complete lifecycle of the software they create, including development, testing, and support. We expect our engineers to close the feedback loop between software design and real-world performance. In this role, your software will have a meaningful and measurable impact on the world. </p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">RESPONSIBILITIES:</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></strong></p> <ul> <li data-uuid="2b53dd7e-2ef6-4c51-a374-f05424ecd3ac">Design and implement highly available, fault-tolerant devices that operate for long periods of time with minimal maintenance for millions of users</li> <li data-uuid="e6753269-b81a-43da-8ee8-ddb624d57745">Participate in and lead architecture, design, and code reviews</li> <li data-uuid="64a97de5-a911-4a64-9a54-0d70d252a50e">Identify areas to improve the experience, reliability, and efficiency of the product</li> <li data-uuid="03eea3bf-79e8-4b7a-a4f1-63f01a79d4b3">Develop prototypes and manage experiments to prove out key design concepts</li> <li data-uuid="2533b104-065a-47c5-b9fc-3e531f388af0">Write quality linux based software for common processors and microcontrollers</li> <li data-uuid="fca33860-0f03-4490-a27f-8a5f77e04ffc">Develop hardware-in-the-loop testbeds and testcases</li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></strong></p> <ul> <li>Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, math, or other STEM discipline</li> <li>1+ year of professional software engineering experience (Internship experience is acceptable)</li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></strong></p> <ul> <li data-uuid="5f84825b-ef22-48f1-a73e-66ca1e5c3ab5">Deep understanding of the technologies you've worked in; being able to answer 5-whys-deep</li> <li data-uuid="57cf4a40-7ba2-46de-a92e-75c6946dd840">Demonstrated curiosity and willingness to question requirements and push technical boundaries</li> <li data-uuid="ff64a800-51a7-48f3-8c05-0574c9bfe82f">Experience with embedded systems</li> <li data-uuid="7e3a9f2b-ae25-40bd-a1ba-7f2a7dba259d">Experience launching and operating consumer or enterprise products</li> <li data-uuid="ff76302f-4128-4787-abd2-128cd5aed50b">Creative approach to problem solving, exceptional analytical skills and engineering fundamentals</li> <li data-uuid="18468252-4aa5-4f3f-acec-7b135e53bbab">Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal</li> <li data-uuid="723a5dbd-19c1-423c-8be8-2fc9f729023a">Knowledge of networking and linux networking stack</li> <li data-uuid="ede4f53c-1895-448b-ab15-a094b7805ecd">Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements</li> </ul> <p><strong>COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:</strong><br><br>Pay Range:<br>Level 1: $125,000.00 - $165,000.00<br>Level 2: $145,000.00 - $200,000.00<br><br></p> <p>Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.</p> <p>Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX.
