Job description

LEAD ELECTRONIC DEVELOPMENT 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 millions of 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 Electronic Development 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. This is a high-visibility role in which you own the entire life cycle of hardware that sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, and antenna/RF engineering. 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Lead a team of 3-5 engineers to rapidly design, develop, and test highly reliable electronics for our Gateway systems
  • Drive electrical architecture, specification, component selection, circuit board design, implementation, verification, board bring-up, and debugging
  • Optimize existing designs to improve reliability and reduce production and field defects
  • Implement automated design validation test assets to speed up development cycles
  • Develop and train direct reports to enable product ownership and empowered decision making
  • Partner with antenna, software, mechanical, networking, thermal, manufacturing and production test teams

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or physics 
  • 3+ years of professional experience with hardware design/development or electronics test engineering

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • 6+ years of professional experience rapidly designing and delivering highly-reliable products
  • 6+ years of electronic product experience designing hardware from concept through production; strong emphasis on full life cycle development of new hardware products and not small incremental updates to legacy hardware
  • 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:

  • Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines
  • Ability to travel to other sites (Hawthorne, CA and Redmond, WA) up to 20%
