Job Summary

Join SpaceX as a Software Engineer working on High Performance Computing for Starlink. You’ll develop real-time, low-latency software to optimize beam forming across a global satellite network, participate in architecture and code reviews, build prototypes and deployment tools, and help close the feedback loop between design and performance in distributed systems.

Location: Palo Alto, Redmond

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Software Engineering

Key Responsibilities

•Develop highly reliable, real-time software that determines which beams (user, laser, gateway, etc) should be formed in order to provide the best possible user experience for our low-latency, high-bandwidth satellite-based global network.
•Participate in and lead architecture, design, and code reviews.
•Develop prototypes and manage experiments to prove out key design concepts.
•Develop tools for software development and deployment, data analysis and visualization, and test execution across multiple environments, including virtualized hardware environments, real hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing.
•Close the feedback loop between software design and real-world performance.
