Job Description:
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. SR. DSP COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
ENGINEER (SILICON ENGINEERING) 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 1M+ 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.

intellectually curious engineers who can work with world-class
cross-disciplinary teams (firmware, architecture, design,
validation, product engineering). In this role, you will develop
system algorithms and silicon solutions for cutting-edge
communication systems for deployment in space and ground
infrastructures. These systems are enabling connectivity in places
it has previously not been available, affordable or reliable. Your
efforts will help deliver cutting-edge solutions that will expand
the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network.
