What’s SpaceX like in terms of their business, the role, and the work culture?

Well, the Lead PCB Designer for Starshield is all about building and leading a new team of PCB designers. You’ll be collaborating closely with various engineering teams and managing projects to ensure the designs meet performance and reliability standards. Plus, you’ll get to mentor other designers and look for ways to improve the design process!

Actually, you’ll need at least a Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline and a couple of years of PCB design experience. Plus, having some experience leading teams or projects is important too.

Yes, definitely! If you have experience with high-volume production, a solid understanding of design for manufacturing, and familiarity with tools like Mentor Xpedition or Altium Designer, that would be a big plus. Also, experience with mixed analog and digital designs is really valuable.

You’ll be working on projects that support national security efforts, specifically using SpaceX’s Starlink technology for government purposes. This includes earth observation and communications, so it’s pretty exciting stuff!

Collaboration is super important! You’ll be working closely with electrical and mechanical engineering teams, as well as supply chain and manufacturing teams. It’s all about making sure everyone’s on the same page to create the best designs possible.
