- 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 is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
- As a Mechanical Hardware Test Engineer, you will solve challenging, high impact problems for the Starlink network. We are producing complex vacuum amplifier hardware at orders of magnitude higher rate than anyone in history and this role will play a critical part in making it highly reliable. This requires extreme critical thinking skills and a desire to learn about nuanced, cutting edge technology. The most important skillset is demonstrated problem solving ability – in whatever form that may be.
