Electrical Hardware Engineer - Optics, Satellites (Starlink)

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. ELECTRICAL HARDWARE ENGINEER - OPTICS, SATELLITES (STARLINK) As an Electrical Engineer on the Starlink Optics team, you’ll have ownership over the entire life cycle of the hardware that enables this connectivity, and sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, optical, thermal analysis, and software teams. Our team focuses on the design of cutting-edge satellite-based imaging systems, free-space optical communication systems, and high-speed fiber optic transceivers for Starlink's LEO and lunar satellites. Common design challenges range from image sensor integration, high-speed SERDES, sensitive analog circuitry, electro-optical component integration, power electronics, and embedded system design. Your work will include everything from system design and schematic capture to PCB layout oversight; as well as hardware troubleshooting to driving requirements for the underlying silicon and complete product production and test. This also includes driving successful business outcomes across interdisciplinary subsystems of the satellite, inclusive of mechanical and software engineering peers among other engineering disciplines. RESPONSIBILITIES: Rapidly develop high-reliability electronics for satellites and spacecraft.
