Sr. Software Engineer (Computational Geometry)

SpaceX is seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Computational Geometry to join their innovative team in Hawthorne, CA. This role is crucial in developing next-generation computation geometry tools for additive manufacturing and casting processes, directly supporting SpaceX's Starship and Starlink programs.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to lead the development and improvement of SpaceX's pre-print software platform for metal 3D printing systems. You'll be working with cutting-edge technology, developing reliable and scalable numerical analysis solvers, and creating in-process monitoring solutions for data collection and automated analysis.

As a Sr. Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for developing tooling and algorithms to ensure quality prints, integrating pre-print software with simulations, and collaborating with machine learning engineers to improve manufacturing processes. The role requires expertise in C++ development, computational geometry, and a strong background in software engineering.

The compensation package is highly competitive, ranging from $160,000 to $220,000 per year, complemented by comprehensive benefits including medical coverage, 401(k), stock options, and generous paid time off. This is an exceptional opportunity to make a direct impact on SpaceX's manufacturing processes and contribute to the company's ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of software development experience, strong C++ skills, and experience in computational geometry. Knowledge of mathematical optimization, CAD software integration, and 3D meshing would be particularly valuable. The role offers the chance to work with a talented team of engineers and directly influence the future of space exploration through advanced manufacturing technologies.
