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
Derive hardware specifications for the RF system and MMIC blocks
Develop MMIC products from initial specification to mass production and: ensure full compatibility in all aspects of implementation in the system
Simulate/model MMIC front end circuits (power amplifiers, low noise: amplifiers, switches) at the circuit level and electromagnetic level, working with system architects, modem/DSP and ASIC engineers to partition functions between hardware and software domains
Determine how to package and implement MMIC’s, and work with RF engineers and: PCB designers to develop packages and/or modules
Evaluate, characterize, and analyze full performance of MMIC prototypes
Assist in the development of automated test equipment for lab measurements
What they're looking for
- Work with manufacturing engineers on production testing of MMIC components and RF systems
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
- + years of research and/or industry experience in RF/microwave circuit design
- Experience with GaAs and/or GaN MMIC design of linear and non-linear circuits: such as power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, mixers, filters and PLLs, including full circuit design and layout
