Description
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 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 development team, 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 electronics for rockets and spacecraft Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test Create development and qualification testing campaigns and exercise designs to their limits Support hardware through production, integration, and flight Work with experts from other teams and departments 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 1+ years of experience designing, building, or testing circuit boards or other electronics (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 Experience making products or systems work with minimal time and resources Experience developing fundamentally new hardware, not just incrementally updating legacy hardware Experience with circuit board layout, especially for switching power converters or high-speed digital applications Experience designing switching power converters, power magnetics, analog control loops, solid state load switches, motor inverters, EMI/EMC compliance, or sensor signal conditioning circuits Experience with high voltage devices, lithium ion batteries, or power distribution optimization Experience with high performance digital processors, FPGAs, memory chips, or network switches Experience with circuit board design-for-manufacturing or productization of electronics Experience with automating hardware development functions (e.g. scripting to control benchtop equipment or to accelerate analysis or simulation) Ability to work in a fast-paced and autonomously driven environment Excellent verbal and written communication skills  ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones  COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: Pay Range:     Electrical Engineer/Level I: $105,000.00 - $122,500.00/per year     Electrical Engineer/Level II: $120,000.00 - $150,000.00/per year     Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
