RTL Design Engineer (Silicon Engineering)

Описание вакансии

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.

RTL 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 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 ASICs and/or FPGAs for Starlink projects, implementing IP for complex SoCs and participate in integration tasks using Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Participate in the full ASIC/FPGA design lifecycle for Starlink projects, from high-level conceptual and architectural discussions through microarchitecture, design partitioning, and collaboration with backend/implementation teams, and assist in lab bring-up and validation
• Engage in high-level architectural design for FPGA and ASICs
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineers in developing new technologies for the Starlink program impacting User terminals, Satellites, and more

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics
• 1+ years of experience in RTL Design using SystemVerilog, Verilog or VHDL

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Master’s in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field
• ASIC/FPGA system integration experience
• Proficiency in Python for scripting
• Experience in designing DSP or digital communication system datapath blocks
• Experience with EDA tools such as HDL simulators
• Experience and understanding of AXI/AHB/APB protocols
• Strong foundation in electrical engineering fundamentals
• Ability to work in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements
• Team-player, can-do attitude and ability to work well in a group environment while still contributing on an individual basis
• Demonstrated ability to work in a highly cross-functional role
• Enjoys being challenged and learning new skills

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:

Pay range:

ASIC Design Engineer/Level I: $125,000.00 - $145,000.00/per year    

ASIC Design Engineer/Level II: $140,000.00 - $175,000.00/per year
