Software Engineer (Starshield) - Top Secret Clearance
SpaceX, Hawthorne, CA
The role
The Starshield mission is to support national security through a focus on timely and reliable information delivery. Our partners in the intelligence community and defense services need best-in-class technology, developed and fielded quickly and iteratively. Our goals are focused on delivering meaningful new capabilities through both new hardware development and continual software innovation.
The Starshield Software team is building software that safely and securely operates our constellation of thousands of satellites. With our focus on national security missions, we are developing novel technologies to secure our networks and data. We are looking for software engineers who are interested in learning about security applications as well as embedded system development to help us innovate.
Software engineers are engaged in every step of the design process for new technologies. We directly maintain our software systems in production whether as part of our distributed ground network or the software flying aboard our satellites. We are looking for engineers who want to write their own code, test their own systems, and have extreme influence over the end outcomes. Aerospace or satellite experience is not required to be successful here – we want engineers to bring fresh ideas from all areas in software.
