Full Description

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. TEST SPECIALIST (STARLINK) Have a knack for enabling timely results in complex situations? Does the thought of working on and helping the development for the on-time execution of complex, multi-disciplinary teams sound rewarding? What if the results were the rapid development and demonstration of unprecedented Space Laser hardware capabilities? SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites. Join the team responsible for systems enabling the rapid development that is critical to the success of Starlink. Specializing in test and infrastructure, you are responsible for helping develop, deploy, support, and maintain solutions for fast and accurate integration testing.
