TEST SOFTWARE ENGINEER (SATELLITES)
SpaceX services a diverse range of clients and their payloads. Missions supporting scientific research, classified national security space, and commercial opportunities are all in work. As we expand our classified mission manifest, we are looking for test software engineers to join our team.
As a test software engineer, you will have the unique opportunity to design and develop test systems for all the electronic hardware on our satellites. Not only does this mean you will be working on space crafts, but you will be working on core components of the space craft such as flight computers, power converters, analog and digital circuit boards, and communication system units. You will be expected to create test solutions from the ground up, and your work will be the last line of defense before our vehicles get shipped out the door. Our fundamental goal is to improve humanity and ultimately to explore the stars; with it comes extreme responsibility to ensure the safety and reliability or our satellites and payloads.
We're looking for people who want to dive in and get their hands dirty and those who are not afraid to make important decisions and work to provide a data driven rationale. Every day we push the limits of what is possible through innovation, determination, and teamwork and we're only just beginning.
