About the job

At SpaceX, we believe in a future where humanity explores the stars, making it a more exhilarating reality. Currently, we are pioneering technologies that aim to facilitate human life on Mars.

Senior RFIC Layout Designer (Silicon Engineering)

Join SpaceX as we utilize our expertise in rocket and spacecraft construction to advance Starlink, the world's most sophisticated broadband internet system. Starlink constitutes the largest satellite constellation globally, delivering fast and reliable internet to millions. We design, build, test, and operate every system component—from thousands of satellites to consumer receivers that enable users to connect moments after unboxing, as well as the software that integrates it all. We are just beginning to explore Starlink’s vast potential, and we seek exceptional engineers to amplify its benefits for communities and businesses worldwide.

We are looking for innovative, proactive, and intellectually curious engineers to collaborate with our elite cross-disciplinary teams, including systems architecture, ASIC design, firmware, pre-silicon verification, post-silicon validation, product engineering, and manufacturing. In this role, you will be part of a team handling multiple silicon projects focused on higher integration, reduced power consumption, mixed-signal architectures, and cutting-edge silicon technology for both space and terrestrial applications. You will play a vital role in the IC design team, leading layout disciplines at a technical level and collaborating with RFIC/mixed-signal designers on full chip layouts of custom analog and RFIC designs.
