New Graduate Engineer, Silicon Engineering

About this role

SpaceX is hiring new graduate engineers to develop next-generation silicon for Starlink, working across ASIC/FPGA design, RF/analog IC, digital signal processing, and physical design. You'll participate in all phases of silicon development from pre-silicon through post-silicon validation using advanced tools and methodologies.

What you'll do

• Participate in ASIC/FPGA design and verification flows, including architecture, RTL implementation, and emulation
• Bring-up and validate ASICs and FPGAs in the lab using C/C++ and Python
• Simulate RF/analog IC systems and derive specifications for RFIC subsystems and circuits
• Develop RTL designs in SystemVerilog for DSP and digital communication blocks
• Perform synthesis, floor planning, place and route, timing analysis, and physical verification
• Participate in silicon tapeouts for advanced technology nodes

What they're looking for

• ASIC/SOC/FPGA design and verification
• SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, C/C++
• Python for automation and scripting
• RF/analog CMOS IC design and physical design
• Simulation tools (ADS, Spectre, HFSS, Momentum)
• Digital signal processing
• RTL design and chip bring-up
• Computer architecture understanding
