Electrical Engineer, Silicon Reliability Test (Starlink)

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.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, SILICON RELIABILITY TEST (STARLINK)

As an electrical engineer on the Starlink silicon reliability team, you'll sit at the intersection of electrical, packaging, semiconductor, and manufacturing engineering. You will be responsible for package-level and wafer-level reliability testing, including HTOL and other accelerated life tests, root cause of silicon and packaging failures, and driving design and process changes to improve microelectronics reliability across Starlink devices. Your focus will be on the qualification of new silicon packages, wafer-level reliability, and supporting high-volume production.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own package-level (HTOL, LTOL, etc.) and wafer-level (TDDB, ECM, etc.) reliability qualification and testing of new silicon designs and manufacturing technologies for high-volume production

• Plan, develop, execute, and analyze reliability test campaigns aligned with JEDEC and related standards

• Develop and procure custom test hardware, fixturing, burn-in boards, and environmental chambers/systems required for package-level and wafer-level reliability testing

• Design and develop PCBs and electrical interfaces for reliability test fixtures, sockets, and monitoring systems

• Develop software, automation scripts, and data acquisition tools (e.g., Python) to control test equipment, log telemetry, perform real-time monitoring, and analyze large reliability datasets

• Perform hands-on debugging and electrical characterization to drive root cause and corrective action of silicon, package, and interconnect failures
