Description For Sr. Design Verification Engineer (Silicon Engineering)

SpaceX, a pioneering space exploration company, is seeking a Senior Design Verification Engineer to join their Silicon Engineering team in Irvine, CA. This role is crucial for the development of cutting-edge FPGAs and ASICs that power the Starlink satellite constellation, the world's largest broadband internet system.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on technology that's literally changing the world, making internet connectivity available in previously unreachable areas. As a Sr. Design Verification Engineer, you'll be part of world-class cross-disciplinary teams, working on verification of complex digital designs that will be deployed in both space and ground infrastructure globally.

The role requires a strong background in digital ASIC and FPGA verification, with responsibilities spanning from test plan development to post-silicon validation. You'll be working with modern verification methodologies like UVM/OVM/VMM and will need expertise in constrained random verification and coverage analysis.

The compensation package is highly competitive, ranging from $160,000 to $220,000 per year, complemented by an impressive benefits package including medical coverage, 401(k), stock options, and various other perks. SpaceX offers a dynamic work environment where you'll be directly contributing to the company's mission of enabling human life on Mars.

This position requires 8+ years of experience and a bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment with changing requirements. The role may require extended hours and weekend work when needed, demonstrating the commitment required to push the boundaries of space technology.

Working at SpaceX means being part of a team that's not just building products, but shaping the future of space exploration and global connectivity. If you're passionate about cutting-edge technology and want to be part of a mission that's fundamentally more exciting than the status quo, this role offers an unparalleled opportunity to make a significant impact.
