Supplier Development Engineer, Silicon; 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.

Starlink User Terminal business is experiencing exponential growth across consumer, retail, enterprise, and mobility applications. This rapid expansion requires a highly resilient and scalable supply chain for custom silicon, wafers, and advanced packaging. The role entails early engagement in supplier selection, equipment selection, and process engineering to set programs up for success in high-volume manufacturing by ensuring material and process corners are fully completed.

The role also includes ownership to deliver on time, monitor field performance, react to issues, and feed lessons learned back to engineering teams for iterative improvement.

We are seeking a technically strong Supplier Development Engineer to drive end-to-end supplier development for the silicon and packaging portfolio — from strategic supplier selection and new product introduction through high-volume production scaling and reactive quality support. The ideal candidate will bring substantial industry experience across front-end wafer fabrication, back-end packaging and assembly, and silicon test, along with the ability to provide technology guidance on process nodes and packaging technologies.

The Supplier Development Engineer, Silicon will be responsible for executing supplier strategies focused on wafer fabrication, advanced packaging, and silicon test. This position will have significant technical influence across Starlink engineering, quality, and supply chain teams.
