Jobs at SpaceX

The Mechanical Development Test Engineer designs test stands, analyzes structures, supervises assembly, operates tests, and collaborates with engineering teams to ensure reliability of Starlink hardware.

Design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems (LLMs, agentic workflows) across SpaceX. Own end-to-end lifecycle: prototyping, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration, partnering with product and engineering to ensure reliability, safety, and observability.

Design, build, and maintain data ingestion, ETL, storage, and analytics systems to measure and scale Starlink network performance (including Wi‑Fi). Automate metric aggregation, detect widespread application issues, lead investigations, fuse multi-source data, and apply analytics and ML models to vehicle- and ground-generated data.

The Wireless Firmware Engineer will develop signal processing algorithms and optimize software for satellites, debug systems, and work on wireless communications.

Design and implement highly reliable, real-time beam-planning and network software for Starlink. Lead architecture and code reviews, prototype and run experiments, and build tools for development, deployment, analysis, simulation, and on-orbit testing to maximize low-latency, high-bandwidth performance.

Design, implement, and support high-performance, real-time beam planning and network software for Starlink. Lead architecture and code reviews, build prototypes, run experiments, and create tooling for deployment, analysis, visualization, and testing across simulated and real hardware environments.

Develop and maintain real-time beam planning software for Starlink, designing architectures, prototypes, and experiments to optimize user/laser/gateway beam formation. Build tools for deployment, testing (virtualized, hardware-in-the-loop, on-orbit), data analysis, and visualization; participate in code and design reviews and support production systems.

Design and build test systems and infrastructure for Starlink software and hardware, including hardware-in-the-loop and virtualized simulations. Develop CI/CD-enabled test execution, analyze results, debug issues with cross-domain teams, and support deployment and operational testing.

Design and implement real-time beam planning and network software for Starlink satellites. Develop, test, and deploy reliable low-latency, high-bandwidth algorithms and tools; lead design reviews; prototype and run experiments across simulated and on-orbit environments; build developer tooling, analysis/visualization, and test frameworks.

Design, implement, and support high-performance, real-time beam planning and network software for the Starlink satellite constellation. Lead architecture and code reviews, prototype and run experiments, and build tools for deployment, data analysis, visualization, and testing across simulated and hardware-in-the-loop environments.

Design and implement real-time, low-latency beam planning and network software for Starlink. Lead architecture and code reviews, prototype and run experiments, and build tools for deployment, testing (virtualized, HIL, on-orbit), data analysis, and visualization to optimize user experience.

Design and deliver kV-level DC-DC power supplies for TWTA systems across concept, prototyping, testing, integration, and production. Lead trade studies, verification testing, magnetics design, control design, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to optimize performance, efficiency, and reliability in harsh environments.

Design, build, and activate low- and high-voltage electrical systems for manufacturing facilities (power distribution, switchgear, UPS, generators, ATS, power monitoring). Provide engineering support, troubleshooting, load-flow analysis, equipment evaluation, grounding, and code compliance (NFPA/NEC/IBC). Coordinate installations with utilities and cross-disciplinary teams.

Lead detection, investigation, and mitigation of platform misuse and illicit operators for Starlink. Develop technical detection strategies, conduct investigations (fraud, scams, illicit activity), partner cross-functionally, perform compliance reviews, and balance enforcement with customer privacy.

Design, build, and operate a highly reliable distributed telemetry platform to ingest, process, store, and query petabyte-scale data. Collaborate on architecture and code reviews, partner with satellite and rocket teams, take end-to-end ownership of software and hardware stacks, and apply first-principles problem solving.

Lead detection, investigation, and prevention of platform abuse and illicit operators. Design and deploy mitigation solutions, conduct reactive investigations (fraud, scams, illicit activity), perform periodic compliance reviews, and balance enforcement with customer privacy while collaborating cross-functionally.
