Sr. Hardware Design Engineer - Electrical, Satellites Payload (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. SR. HARDWARE DESIGN ENGINEER - ELECTRICAL, SATELLITE PAYLOAD (STARLINK) The Starlink team designs, builds, and operates the world’s most advanced communication network. Comprised of over ten thousand satellites in low Earth orbit and dozens of antenna installations on the ground, this system delivers broadband internet to more than ten million customers around the world. We develop nearly every key piece of technology in house – from the satellites’ flight computer and electric propulsion systems to their advanced phased array antennas and the ASICs which enable them. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact, and as we continue to upgrade and scale the system, we’re looking for best-in-class engineers to join the team.  As an Electrical Design Engineer on the Starlink Payload Engineering team, you’ll have ownership over the entire life- cycle of the hardware that enables this connectivity, and sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, and antenna/RF engineering. Our team specializes in the design of industry-leading phased array and parabolic antennas, as well as the fully custom networking, compute, and modem hardware which drive them. Common design elements include high power mixed-signal ASICs, cutting edge PAM4 SerDes, fully custom RF front ends and antenn
