New Graduate Engineer, Electrical (Starlink)

SpaceX • Redmond, WA

123d • $100,000 - $120,000

About The Position

SpaceX is leveraging its experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 6M+ users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact. As we continue to upgrade and expand the constellation, we’re looking for best-in-class engineers to join the team. As an Electrical Design Engineer on Starlink, you’ll have ownership over the entire life-cycle of the hardware that enables this connectivity, and sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal analysis, software, and antenna/RF engineering. Challenges range from high-speed digital communications, analog, network system integration, power electronics, avionics, network computers, failure analysis, on-orbit reliability, test automation, and RF devices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or another STEM discipline.
• 1+ years of experience design/analysis of circuits, electronic products, or hardware (internships/co-ops and club projects can apply).
• Graduating in the fall of 2025, spring of 2026 or summer of 2026.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or similar engineering degree.
• Electronic product experience designing hardware from concept through production; strong emphasis on full life-cycle development of new hardware products and not small incremental updates to legacy hardware.
• Experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, RF/mm, operational amplifiers, analog to digital and digital to analog converters, and power supply components.
• Experience testing, troubleshooting, and debugging electronics.
• Strong understanding of computers and programming languages (Python, C/C++).
• Demonstrated ability to work in a highly cross-functional role.
• Experience working on space grade hardware.

Responsibilities

• Rapidly develop high-reliability electronics for satellites and spacecraft.
• Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, hardware bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, test, and on-orbit performance of complex electrical designs.
• Get hands-on and support hardware through production, satellite integration, and flight.
• Work closely with engineers from adjacent disciplines (mechanical, thermal, software, test engineering, supply chain, silicon design, etc.) to deliver tightly integrated, high-performance hardware.
• Challenge assumptions, question requirements, learn from your mistakes, and approach problems with an open mind.

Benefits

• Pay range: $100,000.00 - $120,000.00/per year
• Access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage
• Access to a 401(k)-retirement plan
• Short and long-term disability insurance
• Life insurance
• Paid parental leave
• Various other discounts and perks
• 3 weeks of paid vacation
• 10 or more paid holidays per year
• 5 days of sick leave per year
• Company shuttles offered for round trip travel from select Seattle locations to the SpaceX Redmond office Monday to Friday
