<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">POWER ELECTRONICS ENGINEER, CONSUMER HARDWARE & GATEWAYS (STARLINK)</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Starlink believes in providing fast, reliable internet to serve populations with little or no connectivity. We design, build, launch, and operate the world's largest constellation of satellites, enabling us to operate a global internet network unbounded by traditional ground infrastructure limitations. The root of SpaceX’s success so far lies in our mission to keep all engineering and production in-house, which enables a tight feedback loop, nimble decision-making, and speedy deliverables. With millions of daily users worldwide already online, Starlink is truly a game changer and levels the playing field for those who were previously unconnected.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As a Power Electronics Engineer on Starlink in Bastrop, you could be responsible for the design and performance of next-generation gateways power electronics - ultimately ensuring that our ground station antenna hardware can withstand the harshest environmental conditions while maintaining reliable communication with millions of users on a global scale. These are challenging high power multi kW systems needing high performance and reliability. Alternatively, you could spearhead the design and development of the power supply for millions of consumer-facing devices that we ship directly to customers and businesses all over the world. Our customers currently include teachers in the most remote parts of the Amazon, researchers in Antarctica, digital nomads who travel via RV, emergency responders, commercial airlines, cruise lines, and residential users who live in more rural or developing areas. You will own hardware from cradle to grave and will interact regularly with senior leadership during critical design phases.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">RESPONSIBILITIES:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":280,"335559739":120}"> </span></p> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Design, develop, and test highly reliable power electronics for hardware that communicates with our satellites</span></span></li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Provide engineering expertise in the design, analysis, and testing of AC/DC and DC-DC converters</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet"> from watt-class boards through multi-kW racks</span></li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Architect system-level power distribution; lead design trades and development of requirements</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet"> with RF, thermal, mechanical, test, and firmware</span></li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Own schematic capture, magnetics specification, control-loop design, and layout constraints through prototype bring-up</span></li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Define and perform electrical power system verification: efficiency, thermal, EMC, surge/transient, and reliability</span></li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":360,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"singleLevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-ccp-parastyle="List Bullet">Work with multidisciplinary teams of design, test, and production engineers to take new power electronics from EVT through production ramp and cost-down</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":80}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"33555
