Software Engineer, C++ Simulations (Starlink)
SpaceX, Redmond, WA
The role
As a C++ Simulation Software Engineer on the Starlink GNC team, you will take a leading role in architecting, refactoring, redesigning, and building high-performance C++ core infrastructure for our in-house vehicle dynamics simulator and additional simulation environments. This includes dispersed Monte Carlo simulations, hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) setups, testing frameworks, support tooling, and GNC-specific data visualization. You will own the design and evolution of the simulation backbone—driving major refactors and new designs that scale performance and capability with our growing constellation—while collaborating on high-fidelity multi-body physics models, environmental perturbations, and vehicle power/propulsion/control hardware representations.
