  • Experience with design of linear and non-linear circuits such as power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, mixers, filters, and PLLs
  • Thorough understanding of RF passive components
  • Familiar with radio-related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, and network analyzers
  • Experience characterizing radio performance at microwave frequencies
  • Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques, and modulation types such as QPSK, APSK, and QAM
  • RF/microwave design using ADS, HFSS, AWR, or similar
  • Understanding of electromagnetic propagation and antenna systems
  • Schematic and layout using Altium Designer or other PCB design tool
  • Experience in Matlab, Python, C++, or equivalent tools for modeling and analyzing RF systems
  • Python and/or LabVIEW programming experience for test automation
  • Digital communication theory with emphasis on bit error rate and system noise figure
  • RF/microwave design in the Ku, Ka, V, and E-band frequency range
Additional Requirements:
  • Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission-critical deadlines
Compensation and Benefits:

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
