We are currently at the forefront of developing innovative technologies aimed at making this vision a reality, with a primary focus on establishing human presence on Mars.
ROLE: SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA SPECIALIST
SpaceX is utilizing its extensive expertise in aerospace engineering to advance Starlink, the premier broadband internet service globally.
Our team is responsible for the design, construction, testing, and operation of all components of this system, including thousands of satellites, user-friendly consumer products, and the integrated software that connects everything seamlessly.
As we expand and enhance the Starlink constellation, we are in search of exceptional engineers to join our mission.
In addition to providing broadband internet, Starlink is pioneering a revolutionary Direct to Cell satellite network aimed at delivering universal cellular connectivity through the Starlink satellite system.
We are collaborating with telecommunications firms worldwide to offer this service directly to existing LTE devices, ensuring coverage in any location where the devices can access the sky.
As a vital member of the Antenna Engineering team, you will take full ownership of the design and development of phased array antennas, parabolic antennas, and various RF systems for satellites, gateways, and consumer hardware, while also having the chance to innovate new market solutions.
Your role will involve regular engagement with senior leadership to influence the operational framework of our satellite constellation and network, while collaborating closely with electrical, silicon, software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to guide projects from initial concept through to production.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Design advanced antenna and feed systems for next-generation products, including phased array and reflector systems.
• Fabricate and evaluate prototypes of antennas, feed systems, and RF front ends.
• Contribute to the development of software and testing of digital beamforming systems to validate full phased array functionality.
• Provide expertise in phased array technology to establish specifications and troubleshoot issues across satellite and consumer phased array products.
• Conduct design validation testing for both prototype and production designs.
• Support various aspects of antenna integration into spacecraft and other systems.
• Analyze operational RF performance data from field units and explore methods for performance enhancement and issue resolution.
