Embedded Software Engineer, Platform (Starshield)

From the posting

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

EMBEDDED SOFTWARE ENGINEER, PLATFORM SOFTWARE (STARSHIELD)

National security customers cannot wait on slow programs or fragile software. Starshield’s job is timely, reliable information delivery for the intelligence community and defense services by building robust embedded systems, flying them quickly, and iterating.

The Starshield Software team builds the software that boots, runs, and secures spacecraft and ground systems. As an Embedded Software Engineer on Starshield Platform, you will contribute across the stack that userspace applications depend on: early-stage bootloaders, Linux kernel and drivers, and any other firmware needed to reliably control CPU and FPGA hardware on Starshield vehicle nodes.

You will own that software through its full lifecycle: development, test, and on-orbit support.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Maintain and update in-house branches of open-source software such as Linux, Buildroot, and U-Boot

Design and implement platform security: secure boot, runtime integrity, and the features that keep this layer trustworthy on orbit

Support Platform-specific test infrastructure

Own device drivers and board-level firmware for in-house and vendor components …
