The Starlink Mobile network expands Starlink's vision by providing global cellular connectivity from space.

As an Electrical Design Engineer on Starlink Mobile, you'll have ownership over the entire life-cycle of the hardware that enables this connectivity, sitting at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, and antenna/RF engineering. Challenges range from high-speed digital communications, analog, network system integration, power electronics, and RF devices.

Responsibilities

• Rapidly develop high-reliability electronics for satellites and spacecraft
• Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, hardware bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, test, and on-orbit performance
• Get hands-on and support hardware through production, satellite integration, and flight
• Work closely with engineers from adjacent disciplines to deliver tightly integrated, high-performance hardware
• Challenge assumptions, question requirements, and approach problems with an open mind

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or physics
• 1+ years of experience designing circuits, electronic products, or hardware (internships/co-ops apply)

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or similar
• 2+ years of professional experience rapidly designing and delivering highly reliable products
• 2+ years of electronic product experience designing hardware from concept through production, with strong emphasis on full life-cycle development of new products
• 2+ years designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, operational amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, and power supply components
• 2+ years of professional experience testing, troubleshooting, and debugging electronics
• Strong understanding of computers and programming languages (Python, C/C++)
• Demonstrated ability to work in a highly cross-functional role
• Experience designing RF circuits and performing electromagnetic simulations
• 2+ years working on aerospace systems

Additional Requirements

• Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines

Compensation
