SOC Design Verification Engineer; Silicon Engineering

SOC Design Verification Engineer (Silicon Engineering)

Space

X was founded under the belief that a future where humanity explores the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, Space

X is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. Over the past several years, Space

X has leveraged its experience building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world's most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink, the world's largest satellite constellation, is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. As part of this effort, we design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together.

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

We are seeking a motivated, proactive, and intellectually curious engineer who will work alongside world‑class cross‑disciplinary teams (systems, firmware, architecture, design, validation, product engineering, ASIC implementation). In this role, you will develop cutting‑edge next‑generation ASICs for deployment in space and ground infrastructures around the globe. These chips enable connectivity in places that have previously not been available, affordable or reliable. Your efforts will help deliver cutting‑edge solutions that will expand the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network.

• Responsible for test plan execution, running regressions, code and functional coverage closure
• Automate test case generation by using Python and MATLAB programs
• Contribute toward pre‑silicon verification, chip bring‑up and post‑silicon validation
• Be a hands‑on self‑starter who can execute the steps required to fully verify a complex digital design

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or computer engineering
• 2+ years of experience with design verification and test bench development

• Advanced degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering
• Experience with verification methodologies such as UVM
• Strong object‑oriented programming knowledge
• Strong problem‑solving and coding skills
• Experience in constrained random verification
• Expertise in developing test plans, implementing coverage models, and analyzing results
• Experience with scripting languages, e.g., Python for automation
• RTL design, chip bring‑up, and post‑silicon validation experience
• Ability to work in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements

• Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
