Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Own the end-to-end thermal design of spacecraft and launch-vehicle hardware from initial concept through CAD, build, and validation. Translate complex thermal analysis into actionable design decisions regarding materials, coatings, and insulation to ensure system performance and reliability.
Requires a bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline and at least one year of experience with programming languages like Python or MATLAB. Candidates should have a strong background in thermal modeling and the ability to work in an aggressive, fast-paced environment.
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.
The Aero/Thermal/Fluids (ATF) group owns the thermal design of SpaceX's launch vehicles, spacecraft, and hardware for Falcon, Dragon, and Starfall. As a thermal engineer in ATF, you will take hardware from a blank page: setting the thermal architecture, sizing the design, driving it through CAD and build, and validating it against ground test, flight, and on-orbit data. You'll make the engineering calls that keep components within limits across every phase of flight - ascent, on-orbit, reentry, and improve system performance to help us fly more, and more reliably. The group's charter also spans aerothermal and vehicle fluid systems, so there's ample room to broaden into adjacent disciplines, but this role's center of gravity is clean-sheet-to-built-hardware thermal design and analysis.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:
Level I: $100,000.00 - $117,500.00/per year
Level II: $115,000.00 - $140,000.00/per year
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Employees accrue paid sick leave pursuant to Company policy which satisfies or exceeds the accrual, carryover, and use requirements of the law.
SpaceX is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with SpaceX is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft
SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary. SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA. For more information, visit www.spacex.com.
