Software Engineer, C++ (Raptor)
SpaceX, Hawthorne, CA
The role
We are looking for exceptional C++ software engineers who thrive on building high-performance, reliable systems that directly impact production speed and quality. Our team develops the core real-time software that powers advanced metal additive manufacturing machines for Raptor engines. In this role, you will own critical software across controls, data acquisition, build logic, and in-situ monitoring — turning complex engineering designs into flight-ready hardware at scale.
You will architect production-grade C++ systems that push the limits of speed, precision, and reliability in one of the world’s most demanding manufacturing environments.
