Title: Software Engineer, Flight Software Starship Organization: Space Exploration Technologies Corp Description:

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., SpaceX’’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket (collectively referred to as Starship) represent a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond. Starship will be the world’’s most powerful launch vehicle ever developed, with the ability to carry in excess of 100 metric tons to Earth orbit.
