New Graduate Engineer, Electrical (Starlink) (Burleson)

New Graduate Engineer, Electrical (Starlink)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

NEW GRADUATE ENGINEER, ELECTRICAL (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 millions of daily users worldwide already online, Starlink is a true game-changer and levels the playing field for those who were previously unconnected.

The Starlink facility in Bastrop is the newest and fastest growing site at SpaceX. With nearly 2 million square feet of manufacturing space alone, this factory is responsible for the development and production of all things terrestrial for Starlink. This includes customer-facing devices and products that we ship directly to end users (Starlink dishes / user terminals, Wi-Fi routers, etc.). Our users currently include teachers in the most remote parts of the Amazon, researchers in Antarctica, digital nomads who travel via RV, emergency responders, commercial airlines, cruise lines, and residential users who live in more rural or developing areas. The Bastrop site is also home next-generation ground stations and core insourced manufacturing efforts like printed circuit board, solar cell, and silicon packaging production, which ultimately allows Starlink to fully own our product lifecycle and drive continuous improvements at record pace.

Below are a number of electrical teams that are eager to hire top engineering talent at the new graduate level :

• Board level design Design, develop, and verify highly reliable gateway electronics and customer products that communicate with our satellites
• RF & Antenna - Design, fabricate, and characterize prototypes of antennas, feed systems, and RF front ends for next-generation phased arrays, gateways, and consumer wireless products
• Process Implement advanced manufacturing processes spanning PCB fabrication, silicon packaging, solar-cell processing etc., ultimately cementing SpaceX as one of the leading in-house manufacturing entities in the United States
• Test Design, develop, and program novel and automated test solutions capable of testing tens of thousands of units each day
• Reliability Spearhead failure analysis and root cause efforts while partnering with design and production teams to ensure that all hardware that leaves our factory is successful and reliable in the real world
• Controls - Lead creative, multi-disciplinary projects spanning machine design, robotics, motion systems, and factory health monitoring to form the innovative, high-rate factories that allow us to deliver internet to those that need it most
• Compliance - Drive product-level compliance for EMC, radio, and wireless technologies, ensuring all regulatory requirements are met to facilitate global market access, brand protection, and product safety of Starlink
• Facilities Ensure the safety and efficiency of our electrical distribution systems by improving various factory systems site-wide, including substation, switchgear, power distribution, lighting, UPS, Motor Control Centers, VFDs, and generators
