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. EMBEDDED SOFTWARE ENGINEER, CONSUMER HARDWARE (STARLINK) Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 2M+ users worldwide. We design, build, manufacture, and operate all parts of the system including thousands of satellites and millions of consumer kits. While users can get online within minutes almost anywhere on the world, we've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential. We are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for individuals, communities and businesses. As a Software Engineer on the Consumer Hardware team, you will be solving challenges such as: Developing software running on custom hardware that is deployed to millions of devices around the world. Creating infrastructure and tools for rapid and reliable deployment of our code to our customers no matter where they are. Writing software for Starlink's custom phased array and modem silicon. Radically improving the user experience of satellite internet. Developing a telemetry system that scales to millions of devices with trillions of data points. Building robust systems that are resistant to adversarial attacks. Our software engineers are responsible for the complete lifecycle of the software they create, including development, testing, and support. RESPONSIBILITIES: Design and implement highly available, fault-tolerant consumer devices that operate for long periods of time with minimal maintenance for millions of users. Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews. Develop prototypes to prove out key design concepts and quantify technical constraints. Work with the Starlink factory to manufacture devices in-house. Write quality Linux based software for common processors and microcontrollers (e.g. ARM, RISC V, etc.). Develop systems that allow for test execution across multiple environments such as virtualized hardware or real hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Invent new tools that enable more frequent and reliable software deployment, test execution, and data analysis as part of a continuous integration and release system. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or a STEM discipline and 1+ years of professional experience in software engineering; OR 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering in lieu of a degree (internship experience is applicable). Development experience in C, C++, Golang, Python or Rust. Any experience with embedded or low level systems development. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Developed, debugged and deployed software that has been used in real world embedded devices. Creative approach to problem solving, exceptional analytical skills and engineering fundamentals. Solid fundamental knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP etc.), electronics, math, physics, radio frequency. Strong skills in debugging, performance optimization, and testing. Experience with security issues associated with distributed systems and internet services.
