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 circuits, DSP, and physical design. You'll participate in full silicon development cycles using state-of-the-art tools, from pre-silicon through post-silicon validation, as part of a hands-on team building technologies for Mars exploration.

What you'll do

• Participate in ASIC/FPGA design and verification flows, contributing to architecture, RTL implementation, and emulation
• Perform chip bring-up and validation in the lab using C/C++ and Python
• Design and simulate RF/analog IC systems, derive subsystem specifications, and develop circuits in SiGe or CMOS processes
• Develop RTL designs using SystemVerilog for DSP and digital communication blocks with verification against MATLAB models
• Execute physical design steps including synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and signoff checks
• 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++
• Python scripting for automation
• RF/analog circuit design and simulation tools (ADS, Spectre, HFSS, Momentum)
• Digital signal processing
• Physical design and place-and-route
• Computer architecture fundamentals
• Object-oriented programming
