Job Description
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 ofenabling human life on Mars.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ENGINEER (STARSHIELD)
Starshield leverages SpaceXs Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use Starshield is designed for government use with an initial focus on earth observation communications and hosted payloads. As an Electromagnetic Environmental Effects engineer on the Starshield team you will be working on advanced development programs in support of US National Security. You will work with a dedicated team of engineers to ensure our avionics and RF hardware perform when integrated into a complex system of both sensitive and highpower avionics that must operate in harsh electromagnetic environments. You will work in a highly collaborative and fastpaced environment where we are exploring unsolved problems and applying the SpaceX mindset of iterating rapidly to go from design and demo to operational capability at lightning pace.
