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.SOFTWARE ENGINEER, COMPONENTS TEST (STARLINK)As a Software Engineer on the Starlink components team, you will design software and build systems that test flight components for maximum performance and reliability in extreme environments, with mission success being imperative. Your focus will be on developing automation and software solutions for the components and platforms that bring the Starlink Satellite to life. Our engineers serve as software and hardware experts for the flight control devices and mechanisms that drive the critical capabilities on our satellites - from inertial control devices, to network hardware, to space lasers and more. Testing is a fundamental quality check and last line of defense before our products are installed for flight. As a Software Engineer. Our software engineers are responsible for the tools that enable rapid development and accurate testing of all Starlink hardware systems, with a continual focus on design, reliability, and innovation, from test hardware system designs to our software infrastructure. You will have the unique opportunity to design and develop test software infrastructure that will validate the performance of these components in a cross-disciplinary environment. You will be expected to create new test systems and infrastructure from the ground up including hardware, software, and the interface between the two.Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here – engineers on this team are curious, and collaborative, love to learn new things, and work effectively in a dynamic environment to deliver high-impact technology on a massive scale.RESPONSIBILITIES: Develop modular, reusable test and automation software in Python and similar languages for manufacturing and engineering design verificationWrite automation software to interact with flight hardware, test equipment, instrumentation, and production documentation systemsDevelop custom automation solutions to engineering and manufacturing challenges using a combination of embedded electronics and innovative hardwareDevelop algorithms to analyze complex test data to determine if components have met acceptance criteriaMaintain and troubleshoot existing automation infrastructure and work with partner teams to determine and correct root cause of failuresDefine and implement project plans, manage milestones and hold reviews to assure reliable test systems are delivered to production BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience in software development in lieu of a degreeDevelopment experience in C, C++, or Python; or full stack software development experience PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Extensive knowledge of Linux and Windows operating systemsExperience with configuration management and version control softwareExperience with continuous integration and agile developmentExperience automating processes and testing to improve manufacturing yields and reduce production timeExperience developing application, test, or automation software in an interdisciplinary environmentExperience with control feedback loop design and implementationExperience with numerical analysis techniques and signal processing in multiple domainsExtensive knowledge with a range of digital and analog interfaces including GPIB, USB, VISA, TCP/IP, VLAN, CAN bus, SPI, I2C, Modbus, analog-to-digital conversionExperience troubleshooting interactions between software and hardware such as network devices and lab instrumentationExperience with spacecraft fluid systemsExperience with high power electrical systemsExperience with electro-mechanical systemsExperience with embedded hardware product development ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed ​COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: Pay Range: Software Engineer/Level I: $120,000.00 - $145,000.00/per year Software Engineer/Level II: $140,000.00 - $170,000.00/per year 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.Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX.
