Jobs at SpaceX

Develop and rapidly deploy on-orbit and ground software to automate fault detection, response, and operational workflows for Starlink satellites. Operate the constellation (commands, anomaly triage, deorbits), build ground systems, create operational processes for new hardware, and collaborate with cross-discipline engineers to improve reliability and automation. Participate in on-call rotations and respond to real-time alerts.

Entry-level role to design and verify next-generation silicon for Starlink. Work spans ASIC/FPGA design and verification, RF/analog IC design, DSP RTL development, physical implementation, lab bring-up and validation, and participate in tapeouts using embedded software and automation scripts.

Develop and maintain highly reliable real-time and embedded software for the Starlink system. Participate in architecture and code reviews, prototype and run experiments, collaborate across disciplines, and support full software lifecycle from development through deployment and support.

Design and deliver space-grade mechanical hardware for Starlink satellites across the full product lifecycle. Responsibilities include structural, thermal, and electromechanical design, analysis, testing, DFM, production ramp support, and cross-functional collaboration to optimize cost, quality, and performance.

Design, implement, and maintain production-grade guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms and tools for the Starlink constellation using C++ or Python. Perform simulations, bulk data analysis, documentation, code reviews, and participate in on-call operations to command satellites and monitor network performance. Collaborate across teams on constellation design, orbit control, collision avoidance, and state estimation tasks.

Design, implement, test, and maintain physical- and MAC-layer wireless software for Starlink. Participate in hardware bring-up, signal processing algorithm development, cross-team integration, prototype development, and spacecraft/network launch support. Own full software lifecycle including debugging, verification, and performance optimization.

Serve as an Atlassian SME and senior systems administrator to design, build, and support API/GraphQL/webhook integrations between SaaS and internal systems, automate processes, implement monitoring, manage clustered Linux Atlassian upgrades, resolve collaborative app issues, document solutions, and partner with stakeholders to improve operational efficiency.

Design, implement, test, and support physical and MAC layer wireless software for the Starlink network. Work on firmware, embedded and signal-processing code, prototype algorithms, perform hardware bring-up and debugging, integrate cross-layer systems, and collaborate on next-gen networking and hardware architecture.

Build and maintain reliable software that interfaces with PCBA manufacturing equipment to speed and stabilize production. Create applications and prototypes, integrate electronics design tools with manufacturing hardware, and diagnose user problems. Own release, testing, CI/CD, performance profiling, and deployment for production engineering tools.

Responsible for PCBA manufacturing process engineering for Starlink: manage NPI for PCBA assemblies, qualify equipment, design line layout and tooling, implement and automate high-reliability processes, drive DFM, control production execution, traceability, yield improvements, and maintain process documentation and training.

Design, build, integrate, and operate test stands for Starlink hardware. Create fabrication drawings, wiring schematics, and instrumentation lists; analyze structures, fluid systems, and mechanisms; develop test requirements with flight engineering and drive test campaigns to completion. Supervise integration, perform hands-on testing, data acquisition, troubleshooting, and ensure rigorous attention to detail.

The Electric Propulsion Test Engineer develops and executes tests for electric thrusters on Starlink satellites, ensuring performance under flight conditions. Responsibilities include test campaign management, hardware troubleshooting, collaboration with cross-functional teams, and data analysis to improve propulsion system reliability.

The Sr. Sourcing Specialist at SpaceX will manage procurement processes, optimize supply chain strategies, coordinate with engineering, and ensure timely material delivery for production goals.

The Electric Propulsion Engineer will design, analyze, and test propulsion hardware for satellites, ensuring performance and reliability throughout the product lifecycle.

The Hardware Test Engineer will design and automate test systems, develop cross-functional solutions, handle test equipment, and manage projects related to battery and power systems for Starlink.

The Senior Technical Business Development Manager will identify and commercialize new business models for Starlink, working across technical and commercial teams to expand into new markets and segments.

As a Software Engineer for the Starlink program, you will develop real-time software for gateways and satellites, lead design reviews, and facilitate software deployment and testing.

The Sr. Antenna Engineer will design and test advanced RF antenna systems for satellites, collaborate across teams, and enhance Starlink's capabilities.

Design and develop RF front-end modules for 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi, integrating RFICs and ensuring performance specifications for Starlink Mobile networks.

Design and build fast integrated test systems for Starlink network software. Develop end-to-end testing solutions, debug software/network failures in hardware-in-the-loop environments, close test coverage gaps, participate in design/code reviews, and create tools for deployment, data analysis, visualization, and test execution across virtualized, real hardware, and on-orbit environments.
