SpaceX is a US based space technology company founded by its residing CEO
and CTO, Elon Musk, the former co-founder of PayPal. The company's goal is to
renew a sense of excellence in the space industry by disrupting the current
paradigm of complacency and replacing it with innovation and commercialized
price points; laying the foundation for a truly space-faring human civilization.

SpaceX builds rockets and spacecraft from the ground up; including electronics,
software, vehicle structures, and engines. In-house development includes
nearly all flight critical custom components amounting to approximately 85% of
our vehicles both by mass and by value. Our development and production
efforts represent some of the most dynamic and challenging technology
opportunities seen by any organization.

Our success is driven by a wide variety of engineering perspectives and
openness to all great ideas. We pride ourselves on being a meritocracy where
employees are defined by their capabilities and contributions, instead of title or
tenure. We are actively seeking the best and brightest minds from all industries
to continue to build our world class team.

Our employees thrive in a fast-paced engineering ecosystem focused on
innovation and high levels of personal responsibility. At SpaceX we cut through
the noise and believe in the essentials of hardcore engineering.

We build it, test it, and fly it.

The Department

Rocket Development Facility – Our Texas team is an integral part of SpaceX
operations and plays the critical role of testing our flight vehicles and
spacecraft. Located on a 700 acre site in central Texas, the Rocket
Development Facility is responsible for testing hardware from development
stages through acceptance for flight, and from component level to complete
stage testing. Experiencing the rumbling of a rocket engine multiple times each
day is just one of the highlights of working at our Rocket Development Facility.
