Our team’s charter is to efficiently prepare hundreds of humans to safely operate space vehicles on interplanetary missions, and we need outstanding engineers to make this future a reality. If you are driven to fly spacecraft, train others to fly spacecraft, and have a passion for streamlining operations, then come join us in our work to ensure safe and sustainable spacecraft operations.

Develop and maintain the simulation environment (servers, applications, and automation)
Become an on-console mission control operator to support human and cargo spaceflight missions
Develop subject matter expertise and clearly communicate technical concepts to a wide audience
Work closely with operations teams to innovate how humans interact with a diverse fleet of interplanetary spacecraft

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree in an engineering or science discipline
1+ years of experience providing technical training to an audience that must apply it in a critical environment or real-time operations experience on a system that has high consequence of failure (e.g. a pilot, flight or test engineer, spacecraft operator, high performance automotive, etc.)
1+ years of programming experience in Python or JavaScript

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Master's degree in a technical discipline
Previous experience with spacecraft/aircraft engineering or operations
Previous experience writing software in a professional environment
Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills

Capacity to balance conflicting opinions and manage expectations between multiple teams and customers
Able to quickly adapt and change course in a fast-paced environment
Insatiable hunger for continuous improvement and self-motivated to challenge the status quo

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be open to occasional travel to other SpaceX sites (California, Texas, and Florida)
Must be willing to work long hours and weekends to support mission operations and critical project timelines

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:

Pay range:

Space Operations Engineer/Level I: $95,000.00 - $130,000.00/per year

Space Operations Engineer/Level II: $110,000.00 - $160,000.00/per year
