New Graduate Engineer, Electrical

About the Role

Starlink is designing, building, and operating the world's largest constellation of satellites to provide fast, reliable internet. We also design, build, and deliver high-volume consumer hardware and advanced gateways. The Starlink facility in Bastrop is responsible for the development and production of all terrestrial and next-gen space hardware.

Electrical Teams Seeking Talent

• Board level design: Design, develop, and verify highly reliable electronics and customer products.
• RF & Antenna: Design, fabricate, and characterize prototypes of antennas, feed systems, and RF front ends for next-generation phased arrays, gateways, and consumer wireless products.
• Process: Implement advanced manufacturing processes spanning PCB fabrication, silicon packaging, solar-cell processing, etc.
• Test: Design, develop, and program novel and automated test solutions.
• Reliability: Spearhead failure analysis and root cause efforts.
• Controls: Lead multi-disciplinary projects spanning machine design, robotics, motion systems, and factory health monitoring.
• Compliance: Drive product-level compliance for EMC, radio, and wireless technologies.
• Facilities: Ensure the safety and efficiency of electrical distribution systems by improving factory systems site-wide.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive system trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, PCB layout, and prototyping of complex electrical designs.
• Drive hardware bring-up, debugging, documentation, manufacturing, and test of complex electronics.
• Create simulation models of hardware to evaluate performance.
• Contribute towards pre-silicon verification, chip bring-up, and post-silicon validation.
• Write automation software in Python to interact with units under test, test equipment, instrumentation, and documentation systems.
• Provide engineering support for the design, operation, improvement, and troubleshooting of facility electrical components and systems.
• Challenge assumptions and work to find simple solutions to complex problems.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or another STEM discipline.
• 1+ years of experience in design/analysis of circuits, electronic products, or hardware (internships/co-ops and club projects can apply).
• Graduating in the class of 2026 or 2027.

Preferred Skills And Experience

• Experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, operational amplifiers, analog to digital and digital to analog converters, and power supply components.
• Experience with test equipment and measurement techniques (e.g., oscilloscope, multimeter, electronic load, spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, vector signal generator, source measurement unit).
• Experience in environmental testing such as HALT/HASS, thermal, humidity, shock & vibration.
• Demonstrated understanding of electrical schematics and electronics manufacturing.
• Demonstrated understanding of computers and programming languages (Python, C/C++).
• Exposure to production machinery, industrial sensors, and equipment (e.g., motion systems, dispense systems, temperature controllers, laser distance sensors).
• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal).
• Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment.

Additional Requirements

• Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

ITAR requirements apply.
