Descrição da vaga
<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p><strong>SOFTWARE ENGINEER (AI DATA ENGINEERING)</strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":240,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">AI Data Engineering sits in Falcon & Dragon Avionics and Software. Our job is to 10X SpaceX's 10X engineers: less time hunting plots, waiting on queues, or SSHing into a cluster, more time deciding whether the vehicle is good.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">This seat is on the Vehicle Analysis and HPC side of the team. You will build software that turns flight, test, and factory data into pass/fail reports, features, and Ask-AI on telemetry — and the HPC application layer that lets engineers run that analysis at scale without knowing Linux or hardware specs. You are not a cluster administrator and you are not a generic application-software hire for Starlink.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Day to day you will own telemetry and test-data pipelines, automated analysis and reporting, and the user-facing HPC application that engineers use to submit and debug work. Customers are reliability, avionics, GNC, propulsion, structures, and launch operations on Falcon, Dragon, Starship, and Raptor.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">We are looking for engineers who treat teammates with fairness, respect, and support. Aerospace experience is not required.
