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. LASER COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEER, ELECTRO-OPTICAL (STARLINK) The Starlink Space Lasers team develops, produces, and deploys the most cutting-edge satellite free-space optical communication systems in the world. We are looking for engineers to contribute to the development of laser communications terminals for the groundbreaking constellation of Starlink satellites. Laser communication is a highly valuable technology due to the high data bandwidth and high spatial efficiency, which requires engineering precise and high- performance electro-optical and optomechanical systems. As a laser communications engineer, you will be responsible for optical communication system design, validation, and operation. You will help shape the near-earth laser communication system baseline. You will build a reliable, efficient, high-data-rate laser communication system by leading avionics systems and signal processing design and verification. You will shape SpaceX's capabilities to transmit high-rate data around the world via laser communication systems. RESPONSIBILITIES: Apply expertise to laser communication system development, including design, analysis, and validation Architect and implement novel algorithms and digital signal processing (DSP) schemes for laser communications Represent the laser communications system in program-level, cross-disciplinary trades and issue resolution Define requirements for high-data-rate laser communication systems in challenging environmental conditions Lead laser communication architecture definition through internal trade studies, concept of operations definition, and risk reduction testing Participate in verification testing, including environmental qualification, performance characterization, reliability testing, and fault injection testing Review test data and lead anomaly investigation and resolution Maintain link budgets, design specifications, and system capabilities data Interface with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure final designs can be produced in accordance with overall project goals Collaborate with software and automation teams to develop test and production scripts and tools Represent laser communications systems for reliability and risk discussions with internal reliability teams, management, customers, and vendors Design, develop, and implement avionics hardware for space laser systems including high-speed digital communications, analog circuits, optical sensors, and photonic chip drivers BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in physics, electrical engineering, or other engineering/STEM discipline 2+ years of hands-on laboratory or work experience in optics, photonics, laser technology, or testing (university lab, student project, or internship experience qualifies) 1+ years of experience in a computer programming language (e.g. C++, LabVIEW, and/or Python) 1+ years of experience designing and implementing circuit boards (university lab, student project, or internship experience qualifies) 1+ years of experience developing algorithms or implementing signal processing for complex systems, e.g., controls, digital filters, large dataset analysis (university lab, student project, or internship experience qualifies) PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Master's degree or PhD in physics or an engineering or STEM discipline Knowledge of digital communication systems including spread spectrum, forward error correction, and modulation types such as QPSK, QAM, PCM/FM, and PAM Experience with mixed-signal circuits, processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, SERDES, DRAM
