SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP
Gateway Site Development Engineer (Starlink)
SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Overview
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. GATEWAY SITE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER (STARLINK) Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 4M+ users worldwide. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help develop the systems that enable providing service in new markets and even greater system performance and growth potential. As a Gateway Site Development Engineer, you will engage in hardware design initiatives, travel to develop antenna infrastructure build-out plans with international partners, and own global antenna site roll-out plans that support Starlink system-level performance and growth goals. Expect broad scope, diverse engineering challenges, and a great adventure – one day you could be designing a new way to mount an antenna to a roof, and the next day traveling to a new country to develop a solution to power and connect the sites you’re responsible for activating there. We are looking for people who excel at solving complex problems, managing large projects, are ready to learn new things, and want to work in a dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative environment to engineer solutions with real global impact. Responsibilities
Design antenna sites and site hardware to support, connect, and power the antennas all over the world that backhaul the Starlink network Travel abroad to create infrastructure development plans with international partners to establish antenna sites that maximize the Starlink constellation efficacy and expand customer access Develop new processes and methods that enable rapid deployment of antennas Engage cross-functionally to align technical roadmaps with other contributors to Starlink, such as business growth, regulatory, or network engineering teams Review antenna site reliability over time to develop robust solutions that ensure overall system health Demonstrate extreme ownership of product and business outcomes at every stage of conceptualization and implementation BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in engineering or STEM discipline 1+ years of professional experience in an engineering role PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with electrical, mechanical, or structural design and analysis Experience with build, production, or integration of components into an assembly, structure, vehicle, or site Demonstrated success in multidisciplinary project execution Experience with any of the following is a bonus: Producing construction drawings or plans SQL, Matlab, Python, C++, or similar Producing dashboards or analytical and statistical models (Ex: Tableau, PowerBI) Physical network infrastructure design or planning ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Willingness to travel to domestic and international ground station sites Must be willing to work long hours and occasional weekends when necessary to support launch and critical project timelines COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Pay range: Gateway Site Develop Engineer/Level I: $95,000.00 - $115,000.00 per year Gateway Site Develop Engineer/Level II: $110,000.00 - $130,000.00 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 and skills, education, and experience.

You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, a 401(k) plan, disability and life insurance, paid parental leave, vacation and holidays, and other perks. Exempt employees are eligible for sick leave. Company shuttles are offered to employees for round trip travel from select Seattle locations to the SpaceX Redmond office Monday to Friday. Export and compliance:
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder), refugee, or asylee, or be eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about ITAR here. Equal Opportunity
