posted 4 months ago
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. The Sr. Network Engineer (Starshield) position is a critical role within the Starshield team, which leverages SpaceX's Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is tailored for government use, focusing initially on earth observation, communications, and hosted payloads. The team is tasked with building highly reliable in-space mesh networks, designing secure systems to guarantee access to space, and developing next-generation communication and sensing software. As a Network Engineer, you will be responsible for driving the operation, build, and deployment of the Starshield service provider network, which supports critical national security missions. You and your teammates will own the network design and be responsible for proposing and implementing continual improvements to add more capabilities and customers. Your role will also involve monitoring and improving network security, enhancing network performance and reliability, and optimizing network deployments to ensure the highest standards of service and security are met.
