SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, a16z and Founders Fund.
About the role
Our Power Electronics team designs and develops the power conversion and control systems at the heart of Starmind satellites and orbital data centers — enabling the reliable, high-efficiency power delivery required for massive on-orbit AI compute. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or other STEM discipline
- 1+ years of professional experience in power converter development (internships/co-ops can apply)
- This position is 100% onsite and requires relocation to the Austin-Bastrop area if not already local – remote or hybrid work not considered
- Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines
- Some travel may occasionally be required
More about this role
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.
SpaceX is leveraging its experience deploying and operating the world’s largest satellite constellation to develop Starmind, a new constellation of satellites capturing solar energy in space to power low-cost, high-performance AI compute for Earth. Realizing this vision demands highly reliable, high performance electrical hardware ranging from power electronics, high speed digital systems, mixed signal designs, robust avionics, networking, and custom compute electronics. These systems must operate in the extreme environment of space while delivering the connectivity, control, power distribution, and processing needed for orbital AI inference.
