About the role

SpaceX was established with the vision that a future where humanity explores the cosmos is infinitely more thrilling than one where we remain confined to Earth. Today, SpaceX is at the forefront of developing innovative technologies aimed at making this vision a reality, with the ultimate ambition of establishing human existence on Mars.

SENIOR RFIC DESIGN ENGINEER (SILICON ENGINEERING)

At SpaceX, we are harnessing our expertise in rocket and spacecraft manufacturing to deploy Starlink, the world's most sophisticated broadband internet system. Starlink, the largest satellite constellation globally, provides fast and reliable internet to over 5 million users worldwide. Our team designs, builds, tests, and operates every component of the system, including thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that integrates everything seamlessly. We are only beginning to realize Starlink's potential global impact and are on the lookout for top-tier engineers to help us maximize its benefits for communities and businesses across the globe.

We are in search of a proactive, motivated, and intellectually curious RF/Analog IC engineer to collaborate with our elite cross-disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering). In this role, you will be responsible for developing state-of-the-art next-generation RFICs for deployment in both space and terrestrial infrastructures worldwide. These chips are pivotal in providing connectivity in regions where it has previously been unavailable, unaffordable, or unreliable. Join us to contribute to delivering groundbreaking solutions that will enhance the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network.
