What are Professional Phased Array specialists?

Professional Phased Array specialists are experts who work with phased array technology, which involves using multiple antennas or sensors to control the direction and shape of a signal beam electronically. They design, develop, and operate phased array systems for applications such as radar, telecommunications, medical imaging, and wireless communication. These professionals have strong backgrounds in electrical engineering, signal processing, and often work in industries like aerospace, defense, or telecommunications. Their work ensures efficient signal transmission, improved detection, and advanced imaging capabilities.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working with phased array systems, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals working with phased array systems often encounter challenges such as complex system integration, maintaining signal integrity, and troubleshooting issues related to beam steering and calibration. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—including software, hardware, and RF engineers—is crucial to resolve these issues efficiently. Staying up-to-date with the latest simulation tools and testing procedures also helps professionals address technical hurdles and ensure optimal system performance. Continuous learning and cross-functional teamwork are key strategies for overcoming these challenges.

What is the difference between Professional Phased Array vs NDT Technician?

AspectProfessional Phased ArrayNDT Technician
CertificationsASNT Level II or III, Phased Array certificationASNT Level II or III, various NDT methods certifications
Work EnvironmentIndustrial, aerospace, power plants, requiring advanced testing skillsManufacturing, construction, maintenance, performing various NDT methods
Job FocusSpecialized ultrasonic testing using phased array technologyGeneral nondestructive testing across multiple methods

The main difference between a Professional Phased Array and an NDT Technician lies in specialization. A Professional Phased Array focuses specifically on advanced ultrasonic testing techniques using phased array technology, often requiring specialized certifications. An NDT Technician may perform various nondestructive testing methods, including ultrasonic, radiography, or magnetic particle testing, with broader but less specialized scope. Both roles are essential in quality assurance and safety, but the Professional Phased Array role emphasizes expertise in ultrasonic phased array testing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Professional Phased Array Technician, and why are they important?

To excel as a Professional Phased Array Technician, you need a solid background in nondestructive testing (NDT), ultrasonic testing principles, and typically certification such as ASNT Level II or III in Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT). Familiarity with phased array equipment, data analysis software, and digital reporting systems is crucial. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication help in interpreting test results and collaborating with engineering teams. These skills ensure accurate defect detection and safety compliance in critical industries like oil and gas, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
GNC ENGINEER, PHASED ARRAY DEVICES (STARSHIELD)
Starshield leverages SpaceX's Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use, with an initial focus on earth observation, communications, and hosted payloads.
As an engineer on this team, you will bring a passion and expertise in areas like control theory, state estimation, orbital mechanics, spacecraft systems design, optimization, and software development to join the Starshield GNC team. This role is specifically dedicated toward GNC algorithm design and development for Starshield user terminals, which directly connect users on the ground to the space-based Starshield network. The software you write will be deployed directly to production systems that are in the hands of the end-users of the various unique Starshield capabilities; as such, this role is high impact and crucial to providing continuous improvement to the utility and quality of Starshield's products and mission.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Design and analysis of GNC logic for Starshield phased array antennas
  • Real-time angular and translational navigation using onboard sensors and optimal state estimation techniques
  • Design of beam-steering logic to track and hand-off satellites while maximizing link integrity in challenging operational environments
  • Development of GNSS independent PNT (position, navigation, and timing) algorithms
  • Design and implementation of all of the above for high-velocity/high-maneuverability platforms
  • Provide engineering and data review support for hardware development, special projects, and customer support triage
  • Work with hardware engineers on the design and specification of future user terminal products and their navigation sensor packages
  • Model derivation and high fidelity simulation for development and validation of prototype features
  • Implementation, validation, unit testing, and deployment of production software (C++) pertinent to the systems described above

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, computer science/software engineering, or an engineering discipline
  • Software development experience in C++, Python, and/or MATLAB/Simulink
  • Experience with attitude determination
  • Experience with state estimation algorithms

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Master's degree or PhD in physics or an engineering discipline
  • Demonstrated project or professional experience in state estimation, feedback control, robotics, antenna design and actuation, or similar
  • Direct experience with inertial navigation systems, GNSS, and phased array antenna systems
  • Experience with translational state estimation in the absence of GNSS ranging and timing information
  • Loosely/tightly coupled state estimation
  • Linux development experience
  • Strong understanding of classical dynamics, modeling and simulation, and software development
  • Capable of identifying and solving complex problems with little to no supervision or direction
  • Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere
  • Excellent communication skills both written and verbal
  • Active Top Secret, Top Secret SCI, or DOE Level Q clearance, or the ability to obtain and maintain one

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Able to work extended hours and weekends as needed to support critical path development and/or critical on-orbit operations
  • An active clearance may provide the opportunity for you to work on sensitive SpaceX missions; if so, you will be subject to pre-employment drug and random drug and alcohol testing

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:
GNC Engineer/Level I: $125,000.00 - $150,000.00/per year
GNC Engineer/Level II: $145,000.00 - $175,000.00/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. Those with an active clearance will receive a 10% differential, up to an additional $20,000 annually, once officially briefed into a classified program.
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 and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Employees accrue paid sick leave pursuant to Company policy which satisfies or exceeds the accrual, carryover, and use requirements of the law.
