SpaceX Starshield software engineers build reliable software that controls satellites in low Earth orbit, writing Linux-based C/C++ code, networking, ground command-and-control systems, and simulations for space-based missions supporting national security.
Builds highly reliable software for SpaceX's Starshield satellite network supporting U.S. government national-security missions, owning code from design and prototyping through testing and on-orbit rollout. Core work uses C/C++ and Python on Linux across processors such as ARM, PowerPC, and x86, with networking and ground systems for satellites.
Software engineers at SpaceX's Starshield team build and maintain reliable software systems that control thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit, using C, C++, or Rust for embedded systems, cryptography, networks, and ground software supporting national security missions.
Builds mission-critical software for SpaceX's Starshield satellite constellation, including payload management, orbital prediction, and analysis pipelines. Works full lifecycle using C++ or Python with distributed systems, containers, and databases.
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…
