Job description

SR. RFIC DESIGN ENGINEER (RFIC 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 5M+ 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 RF/Analog IC engineer who will work alongside world-class cross-disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering). In this role, you will be developing cutting-edge next-generation RFICs 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. Join us to help deliver cutting-edge solutions that will expand the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network. 

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

  • Design, simulate and model RF/analog/mixed-signal circuits and systems 
  • Derive specifications for the RFIC subsystems and circuits 
  • Develop Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF/microwave circuits in SiGe or CMOS processes 
  • Work with system architects, modem/DSP and ASIC engineers to partition functions between hardware and software domains 
  • Perform IC floor planning and layout 
  • Model package and external parasitic components 
  • Evaluate and characterize prototypes of the design 
  • Characterize and analyze full radio performance 
  • Assist in the development of automated test lab equipment for lab measurements 
  • Work with manufacturing engineers on production testing and qualification of the RFIC components and systems

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: 

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science 
  • 5+ years of RF integrated circuit experience 

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: 

  • Master's degree or PhD in electrical engineering or computer engineering with an emphasis in RF/Analog/Mixed-signal integrated circuit design 
  • Experience using simulation tools such as Spectre, ADS, HFSS or Momentum 
  • Circuit design skills, and experience performing analysis and simulation of both linear and non-linear circuits such as phase-locked loops, vector modulators/demodulators, oscillators, mixers, filters, low noise and power amplifiers 
  • Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques and modulation types such as QPSK, APSK and QAM 
  • Knowledge of RF transceiver architectures 
  • RF/microwave design in the Ku-band, K-band and Ka-band frequency range 
  • Familiarity with radio related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generator, network analyzers 
  • Experience characterizing radio performance in microwave frequencies 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: 

  • Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones 

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: 

Pay range:  
RF/Analog IC Design Engineer/Senior: $160,000.00 - $225,000/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.
