Fall 2026 Software Engineering Internship/Co-op

At SpaceX, we don’t just dream of a multi-planetary future—we engineer the reality of it. As a Software Engineering Intern or Co-op for our Fall 2026 cohort, you will step beyond the classroom and into the heart of the most ambitious aerospace missions on the planet. From optimizing flight software for Falcon 9 and Starship to building the ground systems that support our Starlink network, you will be embedded in a high-velocity environment where your code directly impacts our progress toward making life multi-planetary.

This is not a role for those who prefer the sidelines. You will work side-by-side with world-class mentors and industry-leading engineers to solve the most complex technical challenges in existence. We are looking for extraordinary students who possess a relentless drive for innovation, a deep-seated curiosity for the unknown, and the technical agility to thrive in a mission-critical environment. If you are ready to push the boundaries of what is possible and contribute to the technology that will carry humanity to Mars and beyond, we want you on our team.
