At SpaceX we're leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world's most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 6M+ users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system - thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for communities and businesses around the globe. As arguably SpaceX's most complex software engineering challenge, Starlink offers a variety of areas within software engineering that you can focus. As a Software Engineer on the Starlink program, you will be solving challenges underpinning every aspect of the program's growth. The teams and areas you could have an impact on could include, but are not limited to: Next generation networking technologies to direct data through an ever-changing network of satellites, ground stations, planes and users. Firmware, embedded and controls software running on custom hardware that flies the world's largest fleet of spacecraft. Infrastructure and tools to enable rapid development and reliable deployment of our code to dynamic production environments. Measurement system software and hardware, supporting our in-house RF Silicon designs. Full life cycle development of Starlink.com and our Mobile/Enterprise platforms. Physic based software engineering to design and simulate the orbital life cycle of the Starlink constellation. 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.
