What are the responsibilities and job description for the Antenna Engineer, Customer Hardware position at SpaceX?
SpaceX is actively developing technologies to make a future where humanity explores the stars possible. The ultimate goal is to enable human life on Mars.
As a Starlink Antenna Engineer, you will design and implement phased array, Wi-Fi, and other RF systems for customer-facing hardware. You will interact with senior leadership to influence the fundamental operation of our constellation and network while collaborating with electrical, silicon, software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams.
Responsibilities:
• Design prototypes of antennas, feed systems, and RF front ends for next-generation phased arrays and consumer wireless products
• Create electromagnetic simulation models of hardware (antennas, filters, PCB layout) to design and evaluate performance
• Work in close collaboration with EE, ME, DSP, and software engineers to design and validate RF systems
• Rapidly develop design validation and production test solutions for high-volume consumer products
• Write automation software in Python to interact with units under test, test equipment, instrumentation, and documentation systems
Basic Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or other engineering discipline
• 1 years of professional experience with antennas or communication systems
• 1 years of professional programming experience in Python, C#, C , or MATLAB
• Experience designing wireless communications systems
Preferred Skills and Experience:
• Master's degree in electrical engineering with emphasis in RF/antenna engineering
• Understanding of link budgets and analysis related to communications
• Thorough understanding of RF active and passive components
• Excellent communication skills both written and verbal
• Passion for problem solving
