Requires on-call availability, extended hours as needed, and 10–15% domestic and international travel.

Design and develop optical connectivity solutions for Starlink’s ground network infrastructure. Build and maintain lab and production test stations, create Python-based test automation, and support product qualification and root-cause analysis. Collaborate with ground and space networking teams to scale physical-layer infrastructure, optimize traffic flow, monitor optical system health, and improve reliability. The role requires optical network design, DWDM knowledge, test characterization, data analysis, and IP networking expertise.

Operate, expand, and optimize Starlink’s global network, including interconnections, colocation sites, POPs, capacity, reliability, and customer integrations. Troubleshoot network hardware, fiber, circuits, and services; automate device operations; support technical pre-sales; integrate satellite and ground networks; update configurations and firmware; and collaborate across engineering teams. The role also includes mentoring junior engineers, independent project execution, on-call rotations, extended hours, and occasional domestic and international travel.

Develop and support Python software, data pipelines, automated tests, and enterprise applications for spacecraft and vehicle checkout operations. Integrate software with physical instrumentation and sensors, deploy systems in Linux environments, improve CI/CD workflows, automate recurring processes, and reduce operational risk. Responsibilities include data analysis, debugging, performance optimization, code reviews, architecture participation, and full software lifecycle ownership.

Manages recruiting logistics, coordinates recruiters and hiring teams, processes contractor conversions, aligns candidate profiles, and tracks hiring efficiency. The role requires learning SpaceX programs, communicating with candidates and stakeholders, managing multiple priorities, handling confidential information, and supporting recruiting program improvements. It is fully onsite, may require weekend and extended-hours work, and includes ITAR eligibility requirements.

Design and own mechanical hardware and mechanisms from concept through production, integration, testing, and launch. Responsibilities include developing requirements, optimizing system designs, applying design for manufacturing, reducing production complexity, conducting environmental and performance testing, and managing product delivery timelines. The role collaborates across engineering and production teams to support Starshield missions and may involve classified programs.

Lead government program development and business growth for StarshieldAI and Grok compute capabilities across the Department of War. Responsibilities include stakeholder engagement, capture strategy, pipeline development, government solicitation responses, market and competition analysis, and cross-functional coordination. The role requires expertise in government procurement, AI/ML and supercomputing applications, classified environments, and national security missions. This Washington, DC-based position is fully onsite, requires up to 50% travel, and requires the ability to hold a TS/SCI clearance.

Own Falcon 9 booster and fairing recovery campaigns at the Port of Long Beach, developing processing procedures, test plans, tooling, automation, and hardware-readiness systems. Resolve field-operational issues, coordinate with launch and refurbishment teams, support vehicle control operations, and improve recovery efficiency. The role includes offshore Pacific recovery voyages, real-time decision-making, hazardous-material handling, heavy machinery operation, and work in demanding outdoor environments.

Advocate for mission assurance at the launch site by improving vehicle, payload, spacecraft, and launch-pad processing reliability. The role identifies high-risk processes, leads root-cause and corrective-action investigations, uses data to prioritize quality improvements, and supports Falcon 9, Dragon, and Starship programs. Responsibilities also include participating in design reviews, evaluating manufacturability and reliability risks, and ensuring appropriate testing and inspection methods.
