SpaceX's Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket (collectively referred to as Starship) represent a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond.

Experience building or working with real-time embedded systems or distributed computing systems

Strong focus and interest in designing, architecting, and implementing excellent, bug-free software

Basic knowledge of electronics, controls, fluid systems, motor design, or physical mechanics

Strong critical thinking and first-principles problem-solving skills

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Able to work effectively in a dynamic environment while assuming high levels of responsibility and demonstrating accountability for software outcomes

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Willing to work long hours and weekends as needed

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay Range:

Software Engineer/Level I: $120,000.00 - $145,000.00/per year
