Senior Starlink Antenna Engineer Phased Arrays RF

SpaceX Corp.; Bastrop (TX); Hybrid; USD 120.000 - 190.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

SpaceX is seeking a Sr. Starlink Antenna Engineer to own phased array, Wi‑Fi, and RF systems for customer‑facing hardware. You will design, verify, and produce advanced antennas, gateways, and parabolic systems used globally.

Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, DSP, and manufacturing teams to move concepts to production. You’ll simulate, test, and optimize RF performance, create alignment solutions, and develop rapid test methods for high‑volume consumer devices.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or other engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of professional experience with antennas or communication systems.
• 5+ years professional experience with radio test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, and network analyzers.
• 5+ years of professional programming experience in Python, C#, C++, or MATLAB.

Aufgaben

• Design, fabricate, and characterize prototypes of antennas, feed systems, and RF front ends for next‑generation phased arrays, gateways, and consumer wireless products
• Create electromagnetic simulation models of hardware (antennas, filters, PCB layout) to design and evaluate performance
• Work in close collaboration with electrical, mechanical, digital signal processing, and software engineering teams to design and validate RF systems
• Create and test phased array alignment solutions
• Rapidly develop design, validation, and production test solutions for our high-volume consumer products and gateway antennas
• Write automation software in python to interact with units under test, test equipment, instrumentation, and documentation systems
