Questions about SpaceX flight software and GNC jobs
How many flight software and GNC jobs is SpaceX hiring for?
55, counted on the SpaceX careers site at SpaceJobs.Now's latest read, spread over California (26), Washington (24), Texas (12) and Florida (1). The full SpaceX openings list sorts every role by discipline.
What is the salary range for flight software and GNC jobs at SpaceX?
Where a SpaceX posting gives a range, its row below shows it, but too few of these roles do for a typical figure yet. Flight Software salaries across employers are measured over every company.
Where are SpaceX's flight software and GNC jobs?
They cluster in Redmond, WA (24), Hawthorne, CA (23), Starbase, TX (7), Bastrop, TX (5) and Palo Alto, CA (3). A role posted at more than one site is counted at each of them.
What does SpaceX look for in these roles?
A computer science, aerospace or electrical engineering degree; C/C++ for flight code, control theory for GNC. The posting itself sets the bar (degree, years, clearance or citizenship), so read it first.
How fresh is this list, and where do I apply to SpaceX?
SpaceJobs.Now reads the SpaceX careers site every night; a role drops off once SpaceX takes it down. Open any role for the complete description, and the Apply step hands you to SpaceX's own form. No real space employer charges a fee to be hired, so treat any request for money as a scam.
