Additional Information

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. HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT ELECTRICAL ENGINEER (STARLINK AVIATION) Starlink is SpaceX's ambitious program to bring high quality internet to the globe by building a constellation of thousands of satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) which we launched on our Falcon 9 reusable rockets over the past years. The Starlink Aviation team is developing mobility solutions for aircraft that will connect to the Starlink constellation and provide an amazing customer experience in flight. As an Electrical Design Engineer on Starlink Aviation, you'll have ownership over the entire life-cycle of the hardware that enables this in-flight connectivity, and sit at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal analysis, software, and antenna/RF engineering. Challenges range from digital communications, power electronics, avionics, failure analysis, in-flight reliability, test automation, and RF devices.
