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. SR. RF SILICON SOFTWARE ENGINEER (STARLINK) At SpaceX we're leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world's most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system - thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for communities and businesses around the globe. SpaceX is looking for engineers with backgrounds in electrical engineering and software development to bring new silicon to life. The ideal candidate will have real-world experience in multiple areas that span the hardware/software boundary: RF measurements, automation software, hardware development, and embedded firmware. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team focused on solving challenging problems related to the silicon used in all terrestrial/space-based elements of a high-performance wireless digital communication system. You will join a team with "extreme ownership" of the silicon life-cycle, from system requirements, to chip design, to characterization, to production ramp-up, to on-orbit telemetry monitoring. RESPONSIBILITIES: Bring up new RF silicon as the first engineer to power on chips for the very first time Design and build modular, reusable software driver libraries for low-level silicon control with special attention to timing, throughput, performance, and simplicity Design and build hardware test platforms (hardware-in-the-loop/HTIL/HIL), and validate silicon driver software on physical hardware or FPGA emulators Support software integration into multiple project-specific flight software teams such as satellite phased-arrays and user terminal production BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or computer science 5+ years of professional development experience in C, C++, or Python PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Professional experience developing, debugging, and deploying software that has been used in real-world applications or projects Solid engineering fundamentals and knowledge of electronics, math, physics, and RF communication systems Strong skills in debugging, performance optimization, and unit testing Creative approach to problem-solving and exceptional analytical skills 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 to meet critical milestones COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: Pay range: RF Silicon Software Engineer/Senior: $160,000.00 - $220,000.00/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. 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.
