Sr. Post-Silicon Validation Engineer (Silicon Engineering)
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.

POST-SILICON VALIDATION 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 validation 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 FPGAs and 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.
Your efforts will help deliver cutting-edge solutions that will expand the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network.
Responsibilities:
Design and build unique and technically challenging automated measurement systems, including both hardware and software designPropose and develop a longer-term software architecture for automated test infrastructure, encompassing instrument control, data capture, data analysis and data organizationDevelop hardware systems, PCBs and digital FPGA or microcontroller control solutions for the test systemsWork closely with the FPGA/ASIC design team and flight software team to add/improve testability and define various test infrastructure logic to ensure adequate silicon test coverageWork closely with electrical design team to review signal integrity, power integrity and radiated/conducted emissions concerns as well as propose design changes or operational workaroundsEvaluate new IP from internal and external IP providers and test for logical and electrical compatibility with existing chips and FPGAsWrite software routines (Python, C/C++) to bring up and validate the SerDes while working with the software cross functional team members to help integrate SerDes drivers in the software trackBASIC
Qualifications:
Bachelor s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or computer science8
years of experience validating ASICs and/or FPGAsPREFERRED SKILLS AND
Experience:
Experience working with various high-speed SerDes architectures (NRZ, PAM4) and various clocking modesWorking experience with Ethernet, PCIe and other high-speed protocol layersAbility to study and analyze internal and external team s test results and provide interpretations to help drive IP selections and discussionsExperience writing comprehensive test reports covering test boundary conditions and test resultsStrong debugging and problem-solving skillsStrong object-oriented programming skillsStrong communication skills and ability to work well within a fast-paced teamExperience with serial digital communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, JTAG and/or the software/hardware solutions to exercise theseExperience with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and/or basic digital signal processing conceptsExperience developing multi-threaded applications and systemsExperience with both Windows and Linux system usage/administrationCOMPENSATION AND
