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
Design and build unique and technically-challenging automated measurement: systems in ways that off-the-shelf equipment may not be capable of capturing. Often this involves creating both new hardware and software designs.
Bring up new silicon, often being the first engineer to power on chips for the very first time
Develop tools and reusable libraries for instrument control, data collection: and analysis of the radio subsystems
Deeply understand measurement data to gain insight into both component and system performance
Create fully-validated reference designs (both hardware and software drivers): for new silicon, and support integration into downstream areas such as phased-array panel bring-up, production, and flight software
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or physics
What they're looking for
- + years of experience in software development in a high level language like C#, Python, or C++
- MS or PhD in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or physics
- Strong communication skills and ability to work well within a fast-paced team
- Hands-on experience with radio-related test equipment such as spectrum: analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, and network analyzers
