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
Drive program-level decisions on sensor firmware, software, and AI-driven: architecture for large-scale RF sensing and satellite broadband systems
Research and develop novel solutions incorporating advanced digital: beamforming, massive MIMO, and direct-to-device technology for on-orbit and ground-based applications
Design, model, and test algorithms for system-level and link-level: performance, including floating-point/fixed-point simulations of modem, beamforming, and sensor data processing
Work in close collaboration with ASIC/FPGA, RF/antenna, and software: engineers to design, validate, and bring up silicon-based RF sensing and communication systems
Generate spacecraft/consumer equipment specifications, requirements, test: procedures, and bit-/cycle-accurate vectors; support silicon bring-up, on-orbit demonstrations, and system validation
Analyze overall system performance (including link budgets, impairments, and: multi-access schemes) and implement system test plans under dynamic program needs
