What’s SpaceX like in terms of their business, the role, and the work culture?

Well, you’ll be designing, developing, and testing software that controls the flight systems for the Starship and Super Heavy vehicles. It’s all about creating reliable software that helps make space travel possible!

Actually, you don’t! SpaceX is looking for smart, motivated engineers who love solving problems, regardless of whether they have aerospace experience. They value collaboration and a passion for the mission over specific backgrounds.

You’ll need a bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, math, or a related field with at least 4 years of software development experience. If you don’t have a degree, 6 years of experience will work too. Plus, you should have experience with C++, Python, or Rust.

Strong software design and development skills are key! It helps if you have experience with Rust, a good grasp of control theory, and knowledge of computer architecture. Being creative in problem-solving and having debugging skills will definitely give you an edge.

Yes, you’ll need to be a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or meet certain other criteria due to ITAR regulations. Also, be prepared to work extended hours or weekends if necessary to meet deadlines. It’s all part of the exciting challenge!
