FPGAASIC Engineer (Silicon Engineering)

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 ofenabling human life on Mars.

FPGA / ASIC ENGINEER (SILICON ENGINEERING)

At SpaceX were leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink the worlds most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the worlds 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. Weve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlinks potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlinks 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 :

• Design ASICs and / or FPGAs for Starlink projects implementing complex SoC blocks and SoC integration tasks using Verilog / SystemVerilog
• Optimize designs for power performance and area
• Participate in the full ASIC / FPGA design lifecycle for Starlink projects from high-level conceptual and architectural discussions through microarchitecture design partitioning and collaboration with backend / implementation teams and assist in lab bring-up and validation
• Contribute to continual improvements to our designs by building physical and digital tools to analyze data collected on orbit and in the lab
• Engage in high-level architectural design for test systems to support FPGA / ASIC validation generational interoperability and integration with DSP / communications subsystems for comprehensive lab and on-orbit verification.
• Collaborate with software engineers in developing production software for your designs
