  • New Graduate Engineer, Electrical (Starlink)

    Spacex 4.4company rating

    Bastrop, TX jobs

    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. NEW GRADUATE ENGINEER, ELECTRICAL (STARLINK) Starlink believes in providing fast, reliable internet to serve populations with little or no connectivity. We design, build, launch, and operate the world's largest constellation of satellites, enabling us to operate a global internet network unbounded by traditional ground infrastructure limitations. Starlink also designs, builds, and delivers high-volume consumer hardware that allows users to connect to these satellites within minutes of unboxing, as well as our advanced gateways that we deploy regionally throughout the world. The root of SpaceX's success so far lies in our mission to keep all engineering and production in-house, which enables a tight feedback loop, nimble decision-making, and speedy deliverables. With millions of daily users worldwide already online, Starlink is a true game-changer and levels the playing field for those who were previously unconnected. The Starlink facility in Bastrop is the newest and fastest growing site at SpaceX. With nearly 2 million square feet of manufacturing space alone, this factory is responsible for the development and production of all things terrestrial for Starlink. This includes customer-facing devices and products that we ship directly to end users (Starlink dishes/user terminals, Wi-Fi routers, etc.). Our users currently include teachers in the most remote parts of the Amazon, researchers in Antarctica, digital nomads who travel via RV, emergency responders, commercial airlines, cruise lines, and residential users who live in more rural or developing areas. The Bastrop site is also home next-generation ground stations and core insourced manufacturing efforts like printed circuit board, solar cell, and silicon packaging production, which ultimately allows Starlink to fully own our product lifecycle and drive continuous improvements at record pace. Below are a number of electrical teams that are eager to hire top engineering talent at the new graduate level: Board level design - Design, develop, and verify highly reliable gateway electronics and customer products that communicate with our satellites RF & Antenna - Design, fabricate, and characterize prototypes of antennas, feed systems, and RF front ends for next-generation phased arrays, gateways, and consumer wireless products Process - Implement advanced manufacturing processes spanning PCB fabrication, silicon packaging, solar-cell processing etc., ultimately cementing SpaceX as one of the leading in-house manufacturing entities in the United States Test - Design, develop, and program novel and automated test solutions capable of testing tens of thousands of units each day Reliability - Spearhead failure analysis and root cause efforts while partnering with design and production teams to ensure that all hardware that leaves our factory is successful and reliable in the real world Controls - Lead creative, multi-disciplinary projects spanning machine design, robotics, motion systems, and factory health monitoring to form the innovative, high-rate factories that allow us to deliver internet to those that need it most Compliance - Drive product-level compliance for EMC, radio, and wireless technologies, ensuring all regulatory requirements are met to facilitate global market access, brand protection, and product safety of Starlink Facilities - Ensure the safety and efficiency of our electrical distribution systems by improving various factory systems site-wide, including substation, switchgear, power distribution, lighting, UPS, Motor Control Centers, VFDs, and generators RESPONSIBILITIES: Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping of complex electrical designs Drive hardware bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test of complex electronics Create simulation models of hardware to evaluate performance Contribute towards pre-silicon verification, chip bring-up and post-silicon validation Write automation software in python to interact with units under test, test equipment, instrumentation, and documentation systems Provide engineering support for the design, operation, improvement, and troubleshooting of facility electrical components and systems Challenge assumptions and work to find simple solutions to complex problems BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or another STEM discipline 1+ years of experience design/analysis of circuits, electronic products, or hardware (internships/co-ops and club projects can apply) Graduating in the fall of 2025, spring of 2026 or summer of 2026 PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, operational amplifiers, analog to digital and digital to analog converters, and power supply components Experience with test equipment and measurement techniques to verify and validate product requirements (oscilloscope, multimeter, electronic load, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, vector signal generator, source measurement unit, etc.) Experience in environmental testing such as HALT/HASS, thermal, humidity, shock & vibration Demonstrated understanding of electrical schematics and electronics manufacturing to analyze and improve test coverage Demonstrated understanding of computers and programming languages (Python, C/C++) Exposure to some variety of production machinery, industrial sensors, and equipment (motion systems, dispense systems, temperature controllers, laser distance sensors, etc.) 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.
