SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP
Sr. Software Engineer (Computational Geometry)
SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP, Hawthorne, California, United States, 90250
SR.SOFTWARE ENGINEER (COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY)
We are looking for adaptable, resilient software engineers with experience developing software to accelerate quality, speed, and efficiency of manufacturing processes at SpaceX.
Our team is building out the next generation of computation geometry tools for additive manufacturing, investment and high-pressure die-casting production processes at SpaceX. This work will support our Starship and Starlink programs. Our team consists of engineers developing reliable, scalable, and efficient numerical analysis solvers to support these processes via simulation. We also develop best in class in process monitoring solutions for data collection and automated analysis. You will have the opportunity to make an impact on the future of manufacturing at SpaceX.
In this role, you will lead development and improvement of our pre-print software platform for our metal 3D printing systems. You will also have the opportunity to help improve our in house numerical multiphysics simulation tools for invest and high pressure die casting. Your work will have a direct impact on the speed, quality, and reliability of our manufacturing processes.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Own the continual improvement of SpaceX Additive Manufacturing pre-print software
Support our additive manufacturing teams as they translate next generation parts into printable reality
Develop tooling and algorithms to ensure quality prints by accounting for geometric deformation during print
Integrate pre-print software directly with our simulations and modeling software
Develop novel solutions for pre-print processing to enable highly stable prints
Work closely with materials and processes engineers to understand the impact of the pre-print software on material properties
Maintain interfaces between the CAD tools and the pre-print software
Collaborate with machine learning engineers and in-situ monitoring tools to feed observed flaws back into the pre-print software to improve yield
Refine mesh generation processes for additive and casting processes
Support case generation and compute resources for pre-print and simulation softwares
Develop algorithms for geometry deformation, procedural geometry generation, and space-filling operations
Work closely with simulation and machine learning experts to link model outputs to process inputs
Deep dive into your users’ problems to find and create efficient solutions
Work closely with our production engineers and technicians to provide the best first principles solution to their needs
Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies
Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency)
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline and 5+ years of software development experience; OR 7+ years of professional experience building software
5+ years experience with C++ software development
2+ years computational geometry experience
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in computer science, applied mathematics, or related field
Experience with mathematical optimization techniques
Experience integrated with CAD software
Deep knowledge of 2D and 3D meshing
Demonstrated proficiency in Python
Experience with compute cluster management tools such as SLURM
Demonstrated ability to work in a manufacturing environment
Knowledge of GPU programming frameworks such as CUDA
Basic UI development skills
Experience developing advanced software for 3D visual effects, animation, or graphics industries
Knowledge of solidification physics
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:
Pay Range:
Software Engineer/Senior: $160,000.00 - $220,000.00/per year
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation & will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year.
