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
Rapidly develop high-reliability electronics for satellites and spacecraft.
Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis,: schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, hardware bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, test, and on-orbit performance of complex electrical designs
Get hands-on and support hardware through production, satellite integration, and flight
Determine layer stackup, perform component package selection, component: placement, routing feasibility studies, and signal routing of digital, analog, RF, and power conversion of PCBs

What they're looking for
- Collaborate with internal teams and PCB vendors to continually improve design: rules, constraints and design for test and manufacture guidelines
- Work closely with engineers from adjacent disciplines (mechanical, thermal,: software, test engineering, supply chain, silicon design, etc.) to deliver tightly integrated, high-performance hardware
- Challenge assumptions, question requirements, learn from your mistakes, and: approach problems with an open mind
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or physics
