Develop highly reliable GNC algorithms, simulations, and tools using C++ or Python for the Starfall entry capsule. Perform bulk data analysis, write technical documentation, and support mission integration for logistics and manufacturing applications.
Requirements
Requires a bachelor's degree in computer science, aerospace, physics, or engineering and at least 1 year of software development experience in C++ or Python. Candidates must meet ITAR requirements and possess strong analytical skills in orbital mechanics and control theory.
Full job 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.
GNC ENGINEER (STARFALL)
SpaceX is looking for engineers with backgrounds in orbital mechanics, control theory, state estimation, spacecraft systems design, atmospheric entry, optimization, and software development to join the Starfall guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) team. Come help us develop the GNC algorithms for Starfall, an entry capsule designed for logistics and in-space manufacturing applications.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Develop highly reliable and performant GNC algorithms, simulations, tools, services, and dashboards using C++ or Python; Starfall GNC Engineers write actual production code, not just prototypes for transcription by another team
Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews
Bulk data analysis to review performance data from Starfall flights, simulations, and operations
Write high quality technical documentation of programs, algorithms, or analysis
Entry vehicle trajectory design, guidance, and optimization
Atmospheric entry, descent, and landing (EDL) algorithms
Precision navigation and state estimation for reentry and recovery
Attitude determination and control during orbital, deorbit, and atmospheric flight phases
Fleet-level or multi-vehicle coordination for logistics delivery and recovery operations
Simulation, analysis, and performance evaluation of entry systems under a wide range of conditions
Integration of GNC with vehicle systems supporting military logistics and in-space manufacturing missions
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree in computer science, aerospace, physics or an engineering discipline
1+ years of software development experience in either C++ or Python
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Master's degree or PhD in an engineering discipline or physics
Developed, debugged and deployed software that has been used in real world applications/projects
Creative approach to problem solving, exceptional analytical skills and engineering fundamentals
Experience with atmospheric entry guidance, navigation, and control for capsules or reentry vehicles
Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, deorbit planning, and entry trajectory optimization
Experience in verifying GNC algorithm performance via simulation, and validation of the simulation's models (including atmospheric, aerodynamic, and thermal environments)
Experience with state estimation, particularly for reentry vehicles (IMU, GNSS, radar/optical, or other sensors)
Familiarity with hypersonic flight regimes, aeroheating considerations, and precision landing/recovery techniques
General familiarity with the disciplines necessary for spacecraft and entry vehicle flight including structures, propulsion, avionics, GNC, flight software, dynamics, launch and mission operations, and integration. Practical experience in real world development of these systems is highly desired
Capable of identifying and solving complex problems with little to no supervision or direction
Passion for advancing the commercial space industry and enabling new applications such as military logistics and in-space manufacturing
Ability to work in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere
Excellent communication skills both written and verbal
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range: Level I: $125,000.00 - $150,000.00/per year Level II: $145,000.00 - $175,000.00/per year

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.
