Is it as stressful as it is said to work at SpaceX? Anybody on here who helped work on the Falcon Heavy launch? Would love to hear how your experience has been. Super fascinating work!
Know some people there. It's half the pay and twice the work. And in crunch times it can be insane hours
What I heard is they are intentionally looking for people who are not motivated by money, so they offer lower than market;
Both SpaceX and Tesla;
I guess that makes sense cause it’s work people are actually interested in rather than the money
At my last job we hired a mech/aero guy from SpaceX. He just said it was long hours, and a lot of people wanted to leave. Then again my other friend there in launch control said it's good, though he is more senior. Don't know anyone in SW engineering
I see, what kind of work did he do there?
Part design, analysis, and fabrication setup. Usually these are handled separately but SpaceX gives its engineers a lot of autonomy
Depends on the team. I was there almost 4 years, it wasn't too bad after I learned to work smarter not harder. Automate whenever possible and be proactive - that was key to my sanity.
Also interested in how software engineering interviews are at spacex
