New Graduate Engineer, Silicon Engineering

About this role

SpaceX is hiring new graduate silicon engineers to develop next-generation chip technology for the Starlink program across multiple disciplines including ASIC/FPGA design, RF/analog IC, digital signal processing, and physical design. This full-time role offers hands-on experience in pre- and post-silicon engineering using state-of-the-art tools and methodologies at locations in California and Washington.

What you'll do

• Participate in ASIC/FPGA design and verification flows from architecture through emulation and lab validation
• Develop RF/analog IC circuits in advanced SiGe or CMOS processes and perform IC floor planning and layout
• Design RTL blocks for digital signal processing and communications systems using SystemVerilog with MATLAB verification
• Execute physical design steps including synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and silicon tapeout
• Write embedded software in C/C++ or Python for chip bring-up and post-silicon validation
• Develop automation scripts and methodologies to improve physical design processes

What they're looking for

• ASIC/FPGA/RFIC design and verification
• SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, C/C++
• RTL design and digital signal processing
• Simulation tools (ADS, Spectre, HFSS, Momentum)
• Physical design and place-and-route
• Python scripting and automation
• Computer architecture fundamentals
• Lab bring-up and post-silicon validation
