SR. ASIC DESIGN ENGINEER (SILICON ENGINEERING)

At SpaceX we’re leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the globe. 

We are seeking a motivated, proactive, and intellectually curious engineer who will work alongside world-class cross-disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering, ASIC implementation). In this role, you will be developing cutting-edge next-generation FPGAs and ASICs for deployment in space and ground infrastructures around the globe. These chips are enabling connectivity in places it has previously not been available, affordable or reliable. Your efforts will help deliver cutting-edge solutions that will expand the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network.   

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Evaluate architectural trade-offs based on features, performance requirements and system limitations
• Define micro-architecture, implement the RTL in Verilog/System Verilog, integrate that in top level and deliver the fully verified, synthesis/timing clean design
• Work closely with verification team to ensure all aspects of the design are covered and verified
• Provide timing constraint for those IPs and support the physical implementation team (synthesis, timing closure, formality check)
• Participate in silicon bring-up and validation

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
• 5+ years of experience in RTL implementation

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Ability to solve complex problems including clock domain crossings and power optimization
• ASIC/SoC system integration experience
• Experience with multicore CPU subsystem design
• Experience with standard bus protocols (e.g. AXI, AHB, etc.)
• Experience with embedded processors
• Experience with high speed and low power design techniques
• Scripting skills (Python, TCL etc.)
• Experience with EDA tools such as HDL simulators (e.g. VCS, Questa, IES), HDL Lint tools (e.g. Spyglass) and FPGA tools (e.g. Xilinx Vivado, Altera Quartus II)
• Ability to work in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements
• Team-player, can-do attitude and ability to work well in a group environment while still contributing on an individual basis
• Enjoys being challenged and learning new skills
