SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Sr. Wireless Software Engineer (Starlink)
Redmond, WA 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. As a Wireless Software Engineer on Starlink programs, you will tackle a wide range of novel engineering challenges across firmware, embedded systems, networking, and signal processing for the worlds largest satellite constellation and broadband network. Overview
We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the Starlink system thousands of satellites, consumer receivers, and the software that brings it all together. We are looking for best-in-class engineers to maximize Starlinks utility for communities and businesses worldwide. Responsibilities
Design, implement, test, and maintain physical and MAC layer software of the wireless software stack for the Starlink communications network. Participate in architecting current and next-gen Starlink hardware and signal processing algorithms. Participate in hardware bring-up, debugging, verification and launch. Work with other teams for cross-layer integration of the end-to-end system. Develop prototypes to prove out key design concepts and quantify technical constraints. Collaborate with other engineers to plan and organize the development of our products. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelors degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline and 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, programming with C or C++; OR 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, programming with C or C++ in lieu of a degree. 3+ years of professional experience working with wireless software or network protocols. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Strong knowledge of wireless communications, signal processing and/or network protocols. Knowledge of RF systems and fundamentals: noise figure, link budget, non-linearity. Experience writing software for RF/mixed-signal integrated circuits and/or systems, such as phase-locked loops, mixers, data-converters, RF attenuators. Familiar with design and implementation of Digital Signal Processing algorithms and techniques: FFT, time and frequency domain equalizer, channel estimation, pilot tracking, digital pre-distortion, doppler compensation. Experience with lab equipment such as RF spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope. Experience in any of physical and/or MAC layers in broadband access technologies such as: Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G or satellite broadband. Creative approach to problem solving, exceptional analytical skills and engineering fundamentals. Strong skills in debugging, performance optimization, and unit testing. Excellent communication skills both written and verbal. Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Pay range: Software Engineer/Senior: $160,000.00 - $220,000.00 per year Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related knowledge, education, and experience. Base salary is one part of total rewards, which may include stock, bonuses, 401(k), medical/dental/vision coverage, and other perks. SpaceX is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or any other legally protected status.
