NETWORK ENGINEER (STARLINK MARITIME)

Starlink connects everyone, everywhere. Starlink Maritime Engineering is a small team that makes Starlink work for enterprise customers whose operations run on tankers, cruise ships, offshore platforms, and research vessels far from shore. You are the technical person closest to that business: you turn maritime customer and commercial needs into product, you drive those capabilities through the Starlink engineering organization, and you own whether the result wins accounts and keeps them. To succeed in this role, you must be a technically excellent and highly detail-oriented interdisciplinary problem solver. You must be a self-starter and have a passion for making things work in high-impact situations.

• Use fleet performance data and operations knowledge to show where Starlink Maritime is winning or failing, then turn that into product and network changes thatimprove reliability and drive customer success
