- As a Software Engineer on the Ground Network team, you will own software systems that enable capacity planning for the next generation of Starlink’s global ground infrastructure. This includes thousands of ground stations, points of presence, data centers, fiber, and associated hardware. You will build tools, models, and services that let us forecast demand, optimize deployments, quantify costs, and scale the network to serve tens of millions of users while maintaining reliability and cost efficiency. RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design, build, and maintain highly reliable software for capacity planning, forecasting, and optimization of the Starlink Ground Network.
- Develop scalable data pipelines, and backend services that ingest telemetry, inventory, cost, and usage data to produce actionable capacity models and KPIs.
- Create simulation, optimization, and forecasting engines that predict future ground-network needs, identify bottlenecks, and recommend deployment strategies.
- Collaborate with network engineers, operators, software teams, and external partners to close the loop between planning models and real-world performance.
- Own the full software lifecycle: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and rapid iteration in a fast-changing environment.
- Apply first-principles thinking to deep-dive into capacity, cost, and scaling problems; prototype solutions and quantify technical constraints.
