Electromagnetic Effects Engineer, Starlink Aviation
SpaceX is actively developing technologies to enable human life on Mars, and they are seeking an Electromagnetic Effects Engineer for their Starlink Aviation team. The role involves ensuring hardware performance of Starlink equipment on aircraft, performing analysis and design related to EMI/EMC, and collaborating with various engineering teams to enhance product reliability and performance.
Computer Software
Responsibilities
Perform analysis and design relating to effects of lightning; circuit and power system grounding architectures; structural electrical bonding; circuit isolation; transfer impedance; shielding effectiveness; radiated/conducted emissions and susceptibility; near-field/far-field electrodynamics; computational electromagnetics; etc
Set requirements based on physics rather than industry standards-a much deeper understanding of electromagnetic environmental effects is critical. Interface with, teach, and collaborate with EE, ME, DSP, and software engineers to test and validate systems
Characterize and solve EMI and RF problems from board to system level. Analyze and troubleshoot EMI performance in the field, during and after aircraft integration
Support certification efforts by performing EMI and EMC testing, documenting and discussing results with designated authorities
Operate a variety of EMI, RF, and electronics test equipment. Independently perform verifications and document results in a clear, precise, and complete manner
Support engineering effectively and confidently with creative thinking and rigor-question the status quo while adhering to documentation and maintaining prescribed quality standards
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, physics, or other engineering discipline
1+ years of electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) work experience, including EMI/EMC requirements, analysis, design, and testing. (Internship or professional experience)
1+ years of experience with radio test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, and network analyzers. (Internship or professional experience)
1+ years of programming experience in Python, C#, C++, or MATLAB. (Internship or professional experience)
Preferred
Advanced degree in electrical engineering, physics, or other engineering discipline
3+ years of E3 work experience, including EMI/EMC requirements, analysis, design, and testing
