Full Stack Software Engineer - Simulation & Flight Systems
SpaceX, Hawthorne, CA
About the job
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.
Full stack software engineer – simulation & flight systems
As a Full Stack Software Engineer within the Special Programs team at SpaceX, you’ll design, develop, and own critical software that powers the exploration and validation of next-generation technologies across every SpaceX flight system. You’ll take full ownership of features in a suite of high-performance, scalable web applications that span the entire design–build–test–operations pipeline. Your work will directly expand our capabilities in both ground and space systems and help prove out the innovations that make multiplanetary life possible.
This is a high-impact role where you’ll collaborate across engineering teams to build a high-throughput distributed system that develops and demonstrates cutting-edge software and hardware. The systems you create will be used by engineers pushing the limits of what’s possible—your code will help fly rockets, test vehicles, and shape the future of spaceflight.
