Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.\nELECTRICAL ENGINEER (STARSHIP AVIONICS)\nThe 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!\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nRapidly develop high-reliability avionics components for Starship and Super Heavy\nDrive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test\nDevelop analog and digital circuits from first principles to meet design requirements in extreme environments\nDesign acceptance and qualification testing campaigns and exercise designs to their limit\nSupport hardware through production, integration, and flight\nWork 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\nChallenge assumptions and build strong professional relationships\nBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:\nBachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or mechanical engineering\n1+ years of experience designing, building, or testing circuit boards or other electronics (personal projects, research, internships, and extracurricular academic projects qualify)\nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:\nPassion for spaceflight and curiosity for electronics in high-reliability applications\nExcitement for making systems smarter, better, faster, cheaper, and more reliable\nExperience making products or systems work with minimal time and resources\nExperience developing fundamentally new hardware, not just incrementally updating legacy hardware\nExperience with analog circuit design, analog signal chains, sensor signal conditioning, or hardware filter design\nExperience with Ethernet (including single-pair), network switches, microcontrollers, FPGAs, memory chips, or general networking concepts\nExperience designing switching power converters, power magnetics, motor inverters, input filters, or EMI/EMC compliance\nExperience with digital signal processing, analog control loops, or control loop stability\nExperience with circuit board layout, especially for switching power converters or high-speed digital applications where signal integrity is critical\nExperience with high voltage systems, lithium-ion batteries, solid state load switches, or power distribution optimization\nExperience with circuit board design-for-manufacture and productization of electronics\nExperience with automating hardware development functions (e.g. scripting to control benchtop equipment or to accelerate analysis or simulation) and\nAbility to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills\nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:\nExtended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical projects and mission milestones\nITAR REQUIREMENTS:\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
