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, DESIGN SOFTWARE (SOFTWARE RELIABILITY) Starship is SpaceX's next generation launch platform that will take humans to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. It is designed to be cost-effective, mass manufacturable, and rapidly reusable. As one of the most expensive and longest-lead parts of the vehicle, the avionics systems require strategic innovation to bring the cost down while also improving the reliability and lead time. As a Software Engineer on the Design Software team, you will be responsible for writing and maintaining software that interfaces with manufacturing equipment on our production line, with the goal of making our avionics manufacturing process faster and more reliable. This is a high-autonomy role that will require building close relationships with manufacturing staff to understand issues, and coming up with software solutions interfacing with APIs or hardware that may have little or no documentation or vendor support. We are looking for people who like to own a problem from start to finish in a high-responsibility and low-micromanagement environment! RESPONSIBILITIES:
