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. IC PACKAGE DESIGN ENGINEER (SILICON ENGINEERING)
At SpaceX we’re leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the globe.
We are seeking a motivated, proactive, and intellectually curious engineer who will work alongside world-class cross-disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering, ASIC implementation). In this role, you will be developing cutting-edge next-generation ASICs for deployment in space and ground infrastructures around the globe. These chips are enabling connectivity in places it has previously not been available, affordable or reliable. As an IC Package Design Engineer, you will be an integral part of the IC design team and lead packaging for custom in-house ASICs and RFICs for digital beam formers and modems.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Own and drive advanced package selection, new product BGA configuration and package structure
- Responsible for package/SIP layout, optimization, design verification and tapeout
- Interface and coordinate with cross-functional groups throughout SpaceX on new product package selection, feasibility analysis and design
- Work cross-functionally, understand trade-offs, constraints, and optimizing silicon floor plan, bump and package pin out
- Simulate and optimize signal/power integrity and RF performance of the package design
- Drive methodology, innovations, and productivity improvements in package design
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or physics
- 5+ years of experience with IC package design
