Simplified
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.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER (THERMAL & FLUID ANALYSIS)
The Thermal & Fluid Analysis team supports the design and testing of Starship's thermal and fluids systems. These include active and passive thermal control, propellant feed systems, gas systems, thermal protection, and in-space propellant management among many other subsystems. These systems must perform reliably in extreme environments from launch to recovery. In this role, you will develop software tools to support analysis, improve design processes, automate workflows, and subsequently deploy the new software/workflows to the analysis and engineering community. Your work will enable making informed decisions more quickly and thus reducing the time required to realize a self-sustaining colony on Mars.
This role requires strong software development skills and an interest in simulation, thermal design, and fluid systems. Experience with thermal & fluid system modeling technique and simulation is a major plus.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design software and workflows that improve mission critical analysis throughput
Build infrastructure to support thermal and fluid systems analysis
Automate analysis workflows to speed up mission and design iteration
Support simulation and validation with test and flight data
Collaborate with engineers to improve reliability and performance of spacecraft systems
Write clean, scalable code and maintain strong documentation
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, or a related field
1+ years of experience coding in Python, JavaScript, and/or Rust (including internship or academic experience)
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Familiarity with thermal or fluid systems in spacecraft or aerospace applications
Strong background in Python and data processing
Experience automating engineering workflows or simulations
Knowledge of and/or experience in MATLAB, C/C++, Git, Thermal Desktop, ANSYS Workbench, Siemens STAR-CCM+
Understanding of thermal/fluid networks (0-D or 1-D modeling)
Excellent communication and documentation skills
Interest in making engineering tools easier to use and more scalable
Familiarity with high performance computing
ITAR REQUIREMENTS:
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.
