## Description

As a Software Engineer on the Starlink program, you will be solving challenges that improve our ability to fully utilize the hardware we have deployed.
Our goal is to provide customers with the best possible satellite internet experience, often providing under-served communities with affordable, life-changing broadband internet access.
Our software engineers are responsible for the complete lifecycle of the software they create, including development, testing, and support.
We expect our engineers to close the feedback loop between software design and real-world performance.
In this role, your software will have a meaningful and measurable impact on the world.
RESPONSIBILITIES: + Develop highly reliable, real-time software designed to run on the gateways, satellites, user terminals, and switches that make up our low latency, high capacity satellite-based global network. + Participate in and lead architecture, design, and code reviews. + Develop prototypes and manage experiments to prove out key design concepts. + Develop tools for software development and deployment, data analysis and visualization, and test execution across multiple environments, including virtualized hardware environments, real hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing. + Deploy reliable software, test execution, and data analysis as part of a continuous integration and release system.
