Sr. International Infrastructure Engineer (Starlink)

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.

SR. INTERNATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER (STARLINK)

Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to 4M+ users worldwide. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help develop the systems that enable providing service in new markets and even greater system performance and growth potential.

As a Senior International Infrastructure Engineer, you will engage in hardware design initiatives, travel to develop antenna infrastructure build-out plans with international partners, and own global antenna site roll-out plans that support Starlink system-level performance and growth goals. Expect broad scope, diverse engineering challenges, and a great adventure – one day you could be designing a new way to mount an antenna to a roof, and the next day traveling to a new country to develop a solution to power and connect the sites you’re responsible for activating there.

We are looking for people who excel at solving complex problems, managing large projects, are ready to learn new things, and want to work in a dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative environment to engineer solutions with real global impact.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Design antenna sites and site hardware to support, connect, and power the antennas all over the world that backhaul the Starlink network
• Travel abroad to create infrastructure development plans with international partners to establish antenna sites that maximize the Starlink constellation effectivity and expand customer access
• Develop new processes and methods that enable rapid deployment of antennas
• Engage cross-functionally to align technical roadmaps with other contributors to Starlink, like business growth, regulatory, or network engineering teams
• Review antenna site reliability over time to develop robust solutions that ensure overall system health
• Demonstrate extreme ownership of product and business outcomes at every stage of conceptualization and implementation
