Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, computer science, electrical engineering, or another STEM discipline and at least 2 years of professional land mobile radio systems engineering experience; alternatively, at least 5 years of professional land mobile radio systems engineering experience without a degree.
• Valid driver’s license.
• Ability to work in tight quarters and the physical dexterity necessary to perform job functions.
• Availability for extended hours and weekends as required by varying site operational needs.
• Availability for occasional travel as required, less than 25%.
• Must meet SpaceX’s stated ITAR eligibility requirements: be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or be eligible to obtain required U.S. Department of State authorizations.

• Experience with encryption, interoperability, and public-safety feature sets.
• Familiarity with FCC licensing concepts, IP backhaul for LMR, and customer training or system acceptance.

Responsibilities

• Design, install, maintain, and own RF and voice systems at data center facilities.
• Design or support land mobile radio systems, including site layout, channel and talkgroup planning, and capacity planning.
• Apply RF coverage principles, including site placement, effective radiated power (ERP), antenna selection, and field or drive-test validation.
• Configure and program land mobile radio infrastructure and subscriber radios, including repeaters, consoles, portable radios, mobile radios, codeplugs, and firmware.
• Troubleshoot RF, IP backhaul, and system-level faults, and document findings for operations and maintenance.
