SR. COMPLIANCE ENGINEER, GLOBAL MARKET ACCESS (STARLINK)

SpaceX is leveraging its experience building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 3M+ users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact. As we continue to upgrade and expand the constellation, we’re looking for best-in-class engineers to join the team.

Compliance Engineers play a critical role as SpaceX strives to deliver internet to those that need it most. They drive regulatory efforts, impact internal design decisions, and obtain the product certifications needed to sell and ship millions of consumer-facing devices. These devices - including Starlink dishes, Wi-Fi routers, power supply, accessories, etc. – are designed and manufactured completely in-house by SpaceX. In this position, you will drive design validation, testing, and certification activities that enable the global deployment of Starlink products.
