Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the full life-cycle development of high-reliability electrical hardware for Starlink satellites, from initial concept and schematic capture to production and on-orbit performance review. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate electrical designs with mechanical, thermal, and software systems.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related STEM field with at least 5 years of experience in hardware design and analysis. Preferred candidates possess a Master's degree and extensive experience with mixed-signal boards, high-speed interfaces, and space-grade hardware.
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.
The Starlink team designs, builds, and operates the world’s most advanced communication network. Comprised of over ten thousand satellites in low Earth orbit and dozens of antenna installations on the ground, this system delivers broadband internet to more than ten million customers around the world. We develop nearly every key piece of technology in house – from the satellites’ flight computer and electric propulsion systems to their advanced phased array antennas and the ASICs which enable them. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact, and as we continue to upgrade and scale the system, we’re looking for best-in-class engineers to join the team.
As an Electrical Design Engineer on the Starlink Payload Engineering team, you’ll have ownership over the entire life- cycle of the hardware that enables this connectivity, and sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, and antenna/RF engineering. Our team specializes in the design of industry-leading phased array and parabolic antennas, as well as the fully custom networking, compute, and modem hardware which drive them. Common design elements include high power mixed-signal ASICs, cutting edge PAM4 SerDes, fully custom RF front ends and antenna elements, highly reliable and dense power conversion and distribution, extreme temperature environments, custom copper and optoelectronic interconnect, and tight electromechanical/thermal integration designed for mass manufacturing. Engineers are deeply involved with their products from concept to deorbit. Typical ownership spans block diagrams and high-level concept of operations definition, requirements capture, part selection and schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, signal and power integrity analysis, supply chain and vendor engagement, hardware bring up and qualification, production test definition, troubleshooting and failure analysis, review of hardware performance on orbit, and the incorporation of lessons learned and design improvements for the next generation.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft
SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary. SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA. For more information, visit www.spacex.com.
