SpaceX Career Path
How would a highly motivated SWE make his way from working at a financial institution to work at SpaceX? Is Boeing or another industry peer a good stepping stone? IDC about the WLB, want to be a part of pushing humanity forward
Path to space
I think having low level systems experience will get you noticed by the recruiters
Just apply directly, we are hiring a ton. Starlink is a software-heavy program.
Do referrals help?
I'm sure they don't hurt. DM me.
You don’t need aerospace experience for a lot of roles in SWE. Prepare to move to Hawthorne, Redmond, or Boca Chica. Spacex doesn’t do remote or WFH. We worked everyday in the office during the pandemic too. You have the right attitude!
Tf team are you on that worked all through the pandemic? I didn't go in the office for 5 months stints several times
Will you care when you have a significant other? Kids?
I do have an SO - she works more than I do atm
