Software developer Jobs in Waco, TX

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.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER, DESIGN SOFTWARE (STARSHIP)

Starship is SpaceX’s next generation launch platform that will take humans to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. It is designed to be cost-effective, mass manufacturable, and rapidly reusable.

As a Software Engineer on the Design Software team, you will be responsible for writing and maintaining the software that takes Starship from idea to reality. This includes software for designing the vehicles like CAD (computer aided design) and PLM (product lifecycle management) as well as software that turns those designs into real parts, like manufacturing planning and automation software. Your goal is to make the end-to-end process from design to flight (and re-flight!) faster and more reliable. This is a high-autonomy role that will require building close relationships with engineers and manufacturing staff to understand issues and come up with simple, robust solutions. We are looking for people who like to own a problem from start to finish in a high-responsibility and low-micromanagement environment!

RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Develop highly reliable software solutions that are used across SpaceX
• Create new applications that improve how SpaceX operates
• Build prototypes to prove out key design concepts and quantify technical constraints
• Own all aspects of software engineering and product development
• Deep dive into your users’ problems to find and create efficient solutions
• Bring your voice to the table in team collaborations on architecture, design, and code reviews
• Integrate CAD software to manufacturing equipment
