Software Engineer (Dynamics)

SpaceX, a pioneering space exploration company, is seeking a Software Engineer for their Dynamics team at Starbase, TX. This role is crucial in developing software tools for the Starship vehicle program, focusing on dynamic and vibration analyses. The position combines software engineering with aerospace engineering principles, where you'll create and maintain sophisticated analysis tools that directly impact vehicle development.

As a Software Engineer on the Starship Dynamics team, you'll be responsible for implementing and maintaining software that makes dynamics analyses more efficient. Your work will interface with various analyses including structural dynamics, flight data processing, model correlation, trajectory design, and engine dynamics. This role requires both strong software development skills and an understanding of or willingness to learn about dynamic systems and engineering principles.

The ideal candidate should have a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and at least one year of development experience with Python, JavaScript, or SQL. Knowledge of dynamics and aerospace environments is preferred, along with strong Python skills and experience with Kubernetes. The role offers an opportunity to work on cutting-edge space technology and contribute to SpaceX's mission of enabling human life on Mars.
