SpaceX The Sr. Embedded Software Engineer for Laser Mesh Routing will develop real-time software to optimize beam formation in Starlink’s satellite network. The role includes architecture design, prototyping, and tool development.
Responsibilities
Develop highly reliable, real-time software that determines which beams (user, laser, gateway, etc) should be formed in order to provide the best possible user experience for our low-latency, high-bandwidth satellite-based global network.
Participate in and lead architecture, design, and code reviews.
Develop prototypes and manage experiments to prove out key design concepts.
Develop tools for software development and deployment, data analysis and visualization, and test execution across multiple environments, including virtualized hardware environments, real hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing.
