SpaceX
Overview
SpaceX was founded with the belief that a future where humanity explores the stars is fundamentally exciting. SpaceX is actively developing technologies to enable human life on Mars. WIRELESS SOFTWARE ENGINEER (STARLINK) At SpaceX we’re leveraging our experience in 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 7M+ 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 and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the globe. As a Wireless Software Engineer on these programs, you will be solving a wide range of novel engineering challenges. 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. Our software engineers are responsible for the complete lifecycle of the software they create, including development, testing, and support. Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline; OR 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, programming with C or C++ in lieu of a degree. 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. Pay Range and Benefits
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: Software Engineer/Level I: $122,500.00 - $145,000.00 per year Software Engineer/Level II: $140,000.00 - $170,000.00 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 part of a total rewards package that may include long-term incentives (stock/stock options), discretionary bonuses, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and comprehensive benefits (medical, vision, dental, 401(k), disability, life insurance, paid parental leave, and other discounts and perks). Paid vacation and holidays are provided; sick leave policy varies by exempt status. Itar Requirements
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), a Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or an Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or be eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. 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.
