Full Job Description
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. NETWORK OPERATIONS ENGINEER (STARLINK) Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help develop the systems that enable providing service in new markets and even greater system performance and growth potential. As a Network Operations Engineer, you will be responsible for engineering the operational systems and processes used to support the Starlink Network as it scales to millions of users around the globe. Join the team operating the network that is revolutionizing global connectivity and internet access. The successful Network Operations Engineer will create the tools, technology and processes to maintain, operate and evolve the most advanced network in the solar system. You will work with subsystem responsible engineers, software engineers, guidance navigation and control engineers, and network engineers to develop alerts, mitigations, and upgrades to orbital and terrestrial assets and drive improvements to core Starlink systems. Through continuous improvement, you will drive process and automation upgrades to the point of minimal manual intervention. You will be responsible for the complete lifecycle of the projects you own, including development, testing, deployment and support. RESPONSIBILITIES: Develop, implement and scale Starlink Network Operations processes and tools to provide global internet access Work with development engineering teams to drive design for operations, solve technical issues, and incorporate debugging tools and strategies into NetOps processes Own and pro
