Principal Operations Engineer (Application Software)

Do you want to be part of the team that builds the software SpaceX uses to design, build, launch, and operate rockets and satellites? Do you want to help Application Software scale as the company grows in launch rate, complexity, sites, compute, and acquisitions? Do you want to work with SpaceX leadership, take on nebulous problems with no obvious owner, and turn them into future-looking strategy the org can actually run?

As the Principal Operations Engineer for ASW, you will do all of these. The Application Software team is looking for a dedicated individual to directly support the ASW executive team through growth strategy, AOP / capital and headcount planning, building a site activation plan, and many other strategic and tactical problems. This person must be able to help with tactical planning that unblocks fast-paced software delivery while simultaneously informing long-term, robust strategies for how ASW grows with the company — across Corporate Functions, Launch and Missions, Flight Software, Supply Chain and Logistics, and Enterprise / Applied AI.
