Job Description

SpaceX is revolutionizing space technology with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. As part of this mission, they're deploying Starlink, the world's most advanced broadband internet system through the largest satellite constellation ever created. The RF and Network Analysis Engineer role is crucial for the Starlink project, focusing on the regulatory and technical aspects of satellite communications.

The position involves working with SpaceX's regulatory team to ensure compliance and optimize Starlink's licensing and spectrum position globally. You'll be conducting sophisticated RF interference analyses, modeling satellite operations, and providing technical insights that shape policy decisions. This role combines engineering expertise with regulatory strategy, making it ideal for someone interested in both technical and policy aspects of satellite communications.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in electrical engineering, experience with RF systems, and programming skills in languages like Python or C++. You'll be working on cutting-edge technology that's literally changing how the world connects to the internet, while dealing with complex regulatory challenges across different jurisdictions.

This is an opportunity to join one of the most innovative companies in the space industry, working on a project that has global impact. The role offers exposure to both technical and regulatory aspects of satellite communications, providing a unique career growth opportunity. You'll be part of a team that's not just building technology, but also shaping the future of global internet connectivity.

The position requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to ITAR regulations, and candidates should be prepared for a fast-paced environment with occasional extended hours when needed. If you're passionate about space technology and want to contribute to a project that's making high-speed internet accessible worldwide, this role at SpaceX could be your next career move.
