MECHANICAL ENGINEER, SATELLITE PAYLOAD (STARLINK)
Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation, providing broadband-quality internet anywhere on earth. We’re leveraging our SpaceX knowledge in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy thousands of satellites each year; today’s constellation serves tens of millions of customers in more than 120 countries. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – the satellite hardware, the user antennas that connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. The Starlink constellation will continue to grow with increasingly powerful hardware, higher bandwidth, and a wider consumer base. We’re looking for world-class engineers to help this mission.
As a mechanical design engineer within the satellite payload group you will get to solve complex structural, thermal, and electromechanical problems on the various space grade hardware that make our satellites come to life. Our engineers get to own the full design lifecycle all the way from ideation, design, and test, through to manufacturing and largescale production. …
