Core stack is C/C++/Rust on ARM/FPGA embedded systems.
ASIC Design Engineer (Silicon Engineering)
Designs next-generation ASICs and FPGAs for SpaceX's Starlink satellites and ground infrastructure: RTL design and SoC integration in SystemVerilog/Verilog, power-performance-area optimization, participation in the full design lifecycle, and lab bring-up/validation, collaborating with systems, firmware, architecture, and backend teams.
Manufacturing Engineer, Components Test
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…
FPGA Engineer (Starshield)
Designs, develops, and tests FPGAs for SpaceX's Starshield satellite constellation, covering safety-critical logic, sensors, cryptography, and RF/optical communications. Work spans the full FPGA lifecycle using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL, Xilinx SoC platforms, and high-speed serial and networking interfaces, with Top Secret clearance eligibility required.
Security Engineer (Software)
Security Engineer on SpaceX's Information Security team, writing and operating the software and backend infrastructure behind enterprise security: identity/authentication services, MFA, cloud security policy, WAFs, and network security tooling. Built with languages like Python, Go, C#, C/C++, or Rust across Linux, Windows, and macOS.
Wifi & RF Compliance Test Engineer (Starlink)
An RF compliance test engineer on SpaceX's E3 team ensures Starlink WiFi and radio products meet FCC, ISED, EN/IEC, ETSI, and ITU standards — running pre-compliance and certification tests, automating EMI/RF test equipment with Python/SCPI, writing test reports, and troubleshooting RF issues from board to system level.
