NEW GRADUATE ENGINEER, ELECTRICAL - '26/'27 (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 a true game-changer and levels the playing field for those who were previously unconnected.

The Starlink facility in Bastrop is the newest and fastest growing site at SpaceX. With millions of square feet of manufacturing space, this site is currently responsible for the development and production of all terrestrial and next gen space hardware for Starlink. 

Below are a number of electrical teams that are eager to hire top engineering talent at the new graduate level:

• Board level design - Design, develop, and verify highly reliable electronics and customer products 
• RF & Antenna - Design, fabricate, and characterize prototypes of antennas, feed systems, and RF front ends for next-generation phased arrays, gateways, and consumer wireless products
• Process - Implement advanced manufacturing processes spanning PCB fabrication, silicon packaging, solar-cell processing etc., ultimately cementing SpaceX as one of the leading in-house manufacturing entities in the United States
• Test - Design, develop, and program novel and automated test solutions capable of testing tens of thousands of units each day
• Reliability - Spearhead failure analysis and root cause efforts while partnering with design and production teams to ensure that all hardware that leaves our factory is successful and reliable in the real world
• Controls - Lead creative, multi-disciplinary projects spanning machine design, robotics, motion systems, and factory health monitoring to form the innovative, high-rate factories that allow us to deliver internet to those that need it most
• Compliance - Drive product-level compliance for EMC, radio, and wireless technologies, ensuring all regulatory requirements are met to facilitate global market access, brand protection, and product safety of Starlink
• Facilities - Ensure the safety and efficiency of our electrical distribution systems by improving various factory systems site-wide, including substation, switchgear, power distribution, lighting, UPS, Motor Control Centers, VFDs, and generators

 RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping of complex electrical designs
• Drive hardware bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test of complex electronics
• Create simulation models of hardware to evaluate performance
• Contribute towards pre-silicon verification, chip bring-up and post-silicon validation
• Write automation software in python to interact with units under test, test equipment, instrumentation, and documentation systems
• Provide engineering support for the design, operation, improvement, and troubleshooting of facility electrical components and systems
• Challenge assumptions and work to find simple solutions to complex problems

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or another STEM discipline
• 1+ years of experience design/analysis of circuits, electronic products, or hardware (internships/co-ops and club projects can apply)
• Graduating in the class of 2026 or 2027

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards 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
• Experience with test equipment and measurement techniques to verify and validate product requirements (oscilloscope, multimeter, electronic load, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, vector signal generator, source measurement unit, etc.)
• Experience in environmental testing such as HALT/HASS, thermal, humidity, shock & vibration
• Demonstrated understanding of electrical schematics and electronics manufacturing to analyze and improve test coverage
• Demonstrated understanding of computers and programming languages (Python, C/C++)
• Exposure to some variety of production machinery, industrial sensors, and equipment (motion systems, dispense systems, temperature controllers, laser distance sensors, etc.)
• Excellent communication skills both written and verbal
• Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
