SpaceX Operations Engineers are dedicated to the innovation of spaceflight operations. The Training team is responsible for training all operators who control and monitor the Dragon fleet and the United States Deorbit Vehicle.

If you are driven to fly spacecraft and train others to fly spacecraft, then come join us in expanding humanity’s reach to the stars.
