## Description

As a software engineer on the Starlink program, you will be solving challenges that improve our ability to fully utilize the hardware we have deployed.
Our goal is to provide customers with the best possible satellite internet experience, often providing under-served communities with affordable, life-changing broadband internet access.
Aerospace experience is not required for success here - rather, we look for smart, motivated, and collaborative software engineers who love solving problems and want to make an impact on a truly inspiring mission.
You will have full ownership of challenging problems, working with a team of enthusiastic engineers to design and produce solutions that enable SpaceX to move towards our goals at a rapid pace.
The success of the missions at SpaceX depends on the software that you and your team produce.
