Non Union Remote Spacex Jobs (NOW HIRING)

SR. SATELLITE POLICY ASSOCIATE (STARLINK MOBILE) 

SpaceX is developing a breakthrough new Starlink Mobile satellite network to bring ubiquitous cellular connectivity worldwide via the Starlink constellation. We are partnering with telecommunication companies around the world to bring this service directly from satellites to existing cell phones, with the goal of providing coverage anywhere a phone can see the sky.

The applications range from connecting hikers in national parks, emergency workers such as firefighters, rural communities, remote sensors and devices, and people and devices in emergency situations.
