LEAD ELECTRONICS ENGINEER, GATEWAYS (STARLINK)

Starlink believes in providing fast, reliable internet to serve populations with little or no connectivity. We design, build, launch, and operate the world's largest constellation of satellites, enabling us to operate a global internet network unbounded by traditional ground infrastructure limitations. Starlink also designs, builds, and delivers high-volume consumer hardware that allows users to connect to these satellites within minutes of unboxing, as well as our advanced gateways that we deploy regionally throughout the world. The root of SpaceX’s success so far lies in our mission to keep all engineering and production in-house, which enables a tight feedback loop, nimble decision-making, and speedy deliverables. With over 5 million daily users worldwide already online, Starlink is truly a game changer and levels the playing field for those who were previously unconnected.

As the Lead Electronics Engineer on the Starlink team, you will be responsible for the design, performance, and reliability of next-generation gateways - ultimately ensuring that our ground station antenna hardware can withstand the harshest environmental conditions while maintaining reliable communication with millions of users on a global scale.

  • 6+ years of experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, operational amplifiers, analog to digital and digital to analog converters, and power supply components
  • 6+ years of professional experience testing, troubleshooting, and debugging electronics
  • Strong understanding of computer networking and interfaces (10/100/400/800G networking/Tbps switches)
  • Strong understanding of optical networking architectures and fundamentals
  • Strong understanding of computers and programming languages (Python, C/C++)
  • Experience in desktop/server Linux and embedded operating systems
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a highly cross-functional role
  • Excellent communication skills both written and verbal

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
