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. SR.

SI/PI ENGINEER - SERDES, SATELLITES (STARLINK) SpaceX is leveraging its 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. As we continue to upgrade and expand the constellation, we’re looking for best-in-class engineers to join the team. As a Signal and Power Integrity Engineer on Starlink’s Payload Engineering team, you’ll have SI and PI ownership throughout the entire life-cycle of the portfolio of hardware that enables this connectivity, and sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal analysis, software, and antenna/RF engineering.

Early in any given product’s design cycle, your work will include everything from IP evaluation in the silicon architecture stage, package performance evaluation, stackup material selection and characterization, channel and PDN architecture, and PCB layout oversight. Once hardware is in hand, you will drive troubleshooting, characterization, qualification, and general debug across all phases of the product’s life. As a subject matter expert on SI and PI, you will define the design, analysis, and verification processes and tools that the Starlink team uses when developing hardware.

You will have wide latitude to determine how best to tackle these problems and be expected to spread the associated knowledge and techniques to engineers across the Starlink program.
