Original job description

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.

THERMAL ENGINEER, SATELLITES (STARLINK)

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.

As a thermal engineer, you are responsible for the thermal design, test, and validation of Starlink satellite hardware and custom developed chips. You will make engineering decisions to improve the vehicle and increase the performance of the Starlink network.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Thermal design of satellite components, from initial high-level analysis down to validation of performance with ground tests and orbital data
Thermal design of semiconductor packages, from high level concepts to detail thermal simulations and lab testing
Devise, build and run tests to validate the performance of the hardware in extreme conditions
Automate workflow to reduce engineering investment in the design cycle
Pursue performance/robustness improvements
Pursue operational simplicity and seek to reduce burden on other groups at SpaceX
Produce quality documentation of your work to reduce miss-rate and improve efficiency
Review peer work

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
1y+ industry experience (internships/co-ops can apply)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Experience with tools for chip thermal design like Flotherm or Icepak
1+ years of experience using scientific programming languages (including internships)
Experience with Thermal Desktop and ANSYS Workbench
Experience with 3D and reduced order thermal modeling
Ability to identify sizing cases and quickly evaluate the impact of design decisions
Working knowledge of scripting languages
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Ability to deliver against an aggressive schedule

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay Range:

Level 1: $100,000.00 - $135,000.00 Level 2: $115,000.00 - $165,000.00

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Employees in Washington State accrue paid sick time in compliance with state and federal law. Company shuttles are offered to employees for roundtrip travel from select Seattle locations to the SpaceX Redmond office Monday to Friday.

ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
