The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Perform analysis and design relating to effects of lightning; circuit and: power system grounding architectures; structural electrical bonding; circuit isolation; transfer impedance; shielding effectiveness; radiated/conducted emissions and susceptibility; near-field/far-field electrodynamics; computational electromagnetics; etc.
Set requirements based on physics rather than industry standards—a much: deeper understanding of electromagnetic environmental effects is critical. Interface with, teach, and collaborate with EE, ME, DSP, and software engineers to test and validate systems.
Characterize and solve EMI and RF problems from board to system level.: Analyze and troubleshoot EMI performance in the field, during and after aircraft integration.
Support certification efforts by performing EMI and EMC testing, documenting: and discussing results with designated authorities.
Operate a variety of EMI, RF, and electronics test equipment. Independently: perform verifications and document results in a clear, precise, and complete manner.
Support engineering effectively and confidently with creative thinking and: rigor—question the status quo while adhering to documentation and maintaining prescribed quality standards.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or other STEM discipline.
- + years of electromagnetic environmental effects work experience, including: EMI/EMC requirements, analysis, design, and testing (internship or professional experience).
- + years of experience with radio test equipment such as spectrum analyzers,: vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, and network analyzers (internship or professional experience).
- + years of programming experience in Python, C#, C++, or MATLAB (internship or professional experience).
