The Electrical On-orbit Reliability Engineer, Satellites (Starlink) joins the satellite team to track, investigate, and analyze electrical and mechanical hardware failure modes across the world’s largest satellite constellation. This role involves performing electrical bench testing, developing engineering models of failures, and driving root cause investigations for major on-orbit hardware anomalies. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to eliminate failure sources and improve the feedback loop from space. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python and SQL, electrical engineering analysis, and reliability statistics. Candidates should possess experience with PCBA test equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers, as well as knowledge of failure mechanisms for electronic, mechanical, or optical systems. The work focuses on solving hardware reliability issues within the Starlink broadband internet system.
