About the role
- What we learned was simple: infrastructure is everything.
- We lacked buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management, and constructing them took far more time and resources than it should have.
- From a first-principles perspective, that doesn't make sense.
Responsibilities
- Design electrical systems, including PCBs, harnesses, digital and analog circuits, and power electronics
- Document designs, test results, and changes to support manufacturing and continued development
- Hands-on experience designing, building, testing, or debugging electrical systems
- Experience taking PCBs from design through manufacturing and board bring-up
- Experience developing firmware or working with embedded systems
- At Starbase, the biggest barrier to launching missions to Mars was not building the rocket.
- It was how slow, expensive, and complex it was to build the infrastructure around it.
- It shouldn't be this hard or costly to create the foundations for progress.
Requirements
- Experience with PCB design, electrical system design, hardware troubleshooting, or electronics manufacturing
- Experience using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other electrical test equipment
- Experience designing systems for high-vibration, outdoor, or other demanding environments
- Must be willing to relocate to Austin, TX if not within commuting distance
- Must be willing to work extended hours or weekends when needed to support critical deadlines
Nice to have
- Preferred Skills & Experience
Skills
- the same engineering mindset that enabled us to tackle space exploration and mass manufacturing could be applied to infrastructure.
- Job Overview
Compensation
