SpaceX is leveraging its experience building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world's most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation that provides fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide.

Our customers currently include teachers in the most remote parts of the Amazon, researchers in Antarctica, digital nomads who travel via RV, emergency responders, commercial airlines, cruise lines, and residential users who live in more rural or developing areas. While users can get online within minutes almost anywhere in the world, we've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential. We are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for individuals, communities, and businesses.

Product Compliance Engineers will play a critical role as SpaceX strives to deliver internet to those that need it most.

  • Work directly with RF hardware and firmware teams to implement design changes required for certification
  • Prepare and maintain technical files and certification applications
  • Support global market access for wireless features, including new frequency bands and power levels

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, other STEM discipline 
  • 1+ years of experience in RF/wireless regulatory compliance and certification (internship experience is applicable)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • 3+ years of dedicated experience in RF/wireless regulatory compliance and certification for high-volume consumer electronics, industrial equipment, or information technology equipment
  • Strong experience with Wi-Fi or satellite communication systems
  • Deep knowledge of FCC, ISED, ETSI, RED, and key international wireless regulations
  • Experience running RF compliance test campaigns
  • Ability to read and interpret radio standards and translate them into actionable design requirements
  • Experience supporting antenna and RF layout for regulatory success
  • Track record of successfully certifying complex wireless consumer products

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
