Description

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.

LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER (FULL STACK) - BUILD RELIABILITY

We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer to design, develop, and continuously improve software solutions ensuring our vehicles can be built and flown reliably.
