Bangladeshi-American Kairan Quazi joins SpaceX as its youngest-ever engineer, guess his age

| @indiablooms | Jun 12, 2023, at 04:24 pm

14-year-old Bangladeshi American Kairan Quazi has joined  Elon Musk's SpaceX as the youngest-ever employee of the company.

The software engineer shared details on his LinkedIn profile as he wrote: "I guess this will be my LinkedIn 'I'm excited to announce...' post! I am graduating from Santa Clara University's School of Engineering where I learned that 'engineering with a mission' is not a gimmicky tagline. Where a culture of rigor, collaboration, accountability, and impact deeply resonated with the needs of a radically accelerated learner."

"Next stop: SpaceX! I will be joining the coolest company on the planet as a Software Engineer on the Starlink engineering team. One of the rare companies that did not use my age as an arbitrary and outdated proxy for maturity and ability," he said.

"A huge thank you to my team at SpaceX for the most transparent, technically challenging, and FUN interview process. Colin Compton, I knew from our first conversation that I found my people. I am packing my rain boots and ready for July! #adastra," he said.
