About the role

  • We've only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink's potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink's utility for communities and businesses around the globe.

Responsibilities

  • Design, simulate and model electro-optical building blocks for a silicon photonics solution
  • Design, simulate and model RF/analog/mixed signal circuits and systems
  • Develop Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF/Microwave circuits in SiGe or CMOS processes
  • Perform IC floor planning and layout
  • Evaluate, characterize and measure electrical and optical building blocks of a high-speed optical link solution
  • 5+ years of photonics or electro-optical integrated circuit design

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
  • Master's degree or PhD in electrical engineering or computer engineering with an emphasis in electro-optics integrated circuit design
  • Familiarity with optical and radio related test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, high speed oscilloscopes and BERTs

Skills

  • Experience using simulation tools such as Spectre, ADS, HFSS or Momentum, Ansys Lumerical, COMSOL
  • Knowledge of advanced packaging technology for optical engine integration in a co-package optics (CPO) solution
  • Familiarity with high speed SerDes architecture, modulation schemes such as NRZ and PAM4 and link protocols
  • Experience characterizing EIC/PIC performance for high speed optical Serdes
  • Starlink is the world's largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide.
  • These chips are enabling connectivity in places it has not previously been available, affordable or reliable.
