Wi-Fi Engineer, Hardware Reliability (Starlink)

<div class="content-intro"><p>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&nbsp;enabling human life on Mars.</p></div><p><strong><span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong">WI-FI ENGINEER, HARDWARE RELIABILITY (STARLINK)</span></strong></p> <p>SpaceX is leveraging our experience building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s largest satellite constellation and most advanced broadband internet system. We provide reliable and fast internet to millions of users worldwide, including populations with little or no connectivity, rural communities, aircraft, watercraft, and places where existing services are unreliable, too expensive, or disconnected by natural disasters. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system, thousands of satellites and millions of consumer antennae that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing. The Starlink team is seeking out the best-in-class professionals to maximize Starlink’s potential for communities and businesses around the globe.</p> <p>As an RF/Wi-Fi Engineer on the Starlink Reliability team, you will perform telemetry and log analysis as well as hands-on debugging to drive to root cause and corrective action of failed hardware. You will build and maintain tools and custom software to assess the performance and reliability of Starlink customer hardware (dishes, routers, power supplies, etc.) and support internal betas and product launches.</p> <p><strong><span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong">RESPONSIBILITIES:</span></strong></p> <ul class="list-inside list-disc whitespace-normal [li_&amp;]:pl-6" data-streamdown="unordered-list"> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">Perform telemetry and log analysis as well as hands-on debugging to drive to root cause and corrective action of failed phased-array, Wi-Fi, and power supply PCBAs</li> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">Build and maintain critical tools and custom software to objectively assess the performance and reliability of Starlink customer hardware</li> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">Run internal betas and product launches to identify and resolve any design issues in the hardware or software of new products ahead of their public launch</li> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">Build relationships and collaborate across disciplines including engineering, production, test, inventory, quality, supply chain, and customer experience to drive positive business outcomes</li> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">Consistently contribute effort, leadership, and creative thinking to solving complex problems in a collaborative fashion and under tight deadlines</li> </ul> <p><strong><span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong">BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:</span></strong></p> <ul class="list-inside list-disc whitespace-normal [li_&amp;]:pl-6" data-streamdown="unordered-list"> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, RF engineering, computer engineering, computer science, mathematics, or other STEM discipline</li> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">1+ years of experience working with digital or mixed-signal designs, using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and/or soldering equipment (includes internships and school projects)</li> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">Working understanding of networking technologies including but not limited to ethernet protocols and Wi-Fi standards</li> <li class="py-1 [&amp;>p]:inline" data-streamdown="list-item">1+ years of experience with data analysis in Python/R</li> </ul> <p><strong><span clas
