Responsibilities

  • Perform hands-on debugging and failure analysis of phased-array antennas, Wi‑Fi routers, power supply PCBAs and associated cabling
  • Analyze telemetry and fleet data to detect, quantify, and prioritize field performance and reliability issues
  • Lead technical investigations with tight timelines and present findings and recommendations to senior leadership
  • Build and maintain dashboards, scripts, and custom tools to monitor and assess hardware performance and reliability
  • Run internal betas and product launches to identify and resolve hardware/software issues before public release
  • Collaborate across engineering, production, test, inventory, quality, supply chain, and customer experience teams to drive corrective actions
  • Document root causes and corrective actions, and feed learnings back into product design and manufacturing

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, RF engineering, computer engineering, computer science, mathematics, or related STEM discipline

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and benefits package
  • Opportunity to work on high-impact products at scale (Starlink consumer hardware and fleet)
