Job description

SR. RTL DESIGN ENGINEER (SILICON ENGINEERING) 

At SpaceX we're leveraging our 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 and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's 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 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:

  • Evaluate architectural trade-offs based on features, performance requirements and system limitations
  • Define micro-architecture, implement the RTL in Verilog/System Verilog, integrate that in top level and deliver the fully verified, synthesis/timing clean design
  • Work closely with verification team to ensure all aspects of the design are covered and verified
  • Provide timing constraint for those IPs and support the physical implementation team (synthesis, timing closure, formality check)
  • Participate in silicon bring-up and validation

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
  • 5+ years of experience in RTL implementation

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Ability to solve complex problems including clock domain crossings and power optimization
  • ASIC/SoC system integration experience
  • Experience with embedded CPU subsystems
  • Experience with standard bus protocols (e.g. AXI, AHB, etc.)
  • Experience with high speed and low power design techniques
  • Scripting skills (e.g. Python, etc.)
  • Experience with EDA tools such as HDL simulators and HDL Lint tools
  • Team-player, can-do attitude and ability to work well in a group environment while still contributing on an individual basis
  • Enjoys being challenged and learning new skills

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:    

Pay range:
ASIC Design Engineer/Senior: $165,000.00 - $260,000.00/per year    
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation & will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Exempt employees are eligible for 5 days of sick leave per year.
