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.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER (STARSHIP AVIONICS)

The Starship team supports the mission to revolutionize orbital flight and space travel-opening access for humankind to establish new frontiers in space and ultimately become a multi-planetary species. Our avionics component development team builds some of the most advanced electronics ever flown in space at a cost and rate previously considered unthinkable in the space industry. Become a part of this fast moving and world class hardware team designing sensors, power and network systems, propulsion interfaces, and data acquisition for Starship. On this team, you'll work with super smart and motivated engineers and achieve truly audacious goals. If you're ready for a challenge and would like to help make our civilization multi-planetary then you've come to the right place!

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Rapidly develop high-reliability avionics components for Starship and Super Heavy

Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test

Develop analog and digital circuits from first principles to meet design requirements in extreme environments

Design acceptance and qualification testing campaigns and exercise designs to their limit

Support hardware through production, integration, and flight

Work with experts from other teams (EEE, EMI, radiation, production) and departments (propulsion, structures, GNC) to drive changes that make the system more efficient, manufacturable, and reliable

Challenge assumptions and build strong professional relationships

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or mechanical engineering

1+ years of experience designing, building, or testing circuit boards or other electronics (personal projects, research, internships, and extracurricular academic projects qualify)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Passion for spaceflight and curiosity for electronics in high-reliability applications

Excitement for making systems smarter, better, faster, cheaper, and more reliable

Experience making products or systems work with minimal time and resources

Experience developing fundamentally new hardware, not just incrementally updating legacy hardware

Experience with analog circuit design, analog signal chains, sensor signal conditioning, or hardware filter design

Experience with Ethernet (including single-pair), network switches, microcontrollers, FPGAs, memory chips, or general networking concepts

Experience designing switching power converters, power magnetics, motor inverters, input filters, or EMI/EMC compliance

Experience with digital signal processing, analog control loops, or control loop stability

Experience with circuit board layout, especially for switching power converters or high-speed digital applications where signal integrity is critical

Experience with high voltage systems, lithium-ion batteries, solid state load switches, or power distribution optimization

Experience with circuit board design-for-manufacture and productization of electronics

Experience with automating hardware development functions (e.g. scripting to control benchtop equipment or to accelerate analysis or simulation) and

Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment

Excellent verbal and written communication skills

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical projects and mission milestones
