performance bottlenecks and performance improvement techniques + Excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate with customers, peers, management, etc. in both formal and informal situations + Ability to quickly learn new tools and frameworks + Interest in or experience with AI/LLM-assisted tooling (e.g., Grok, Claude Code) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: + Ability to work extended hours and weekends as needed to meet critical milestones COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS: Pay Range: Level 1: $125,000.00 - $150,000.00 Level 2: $145,000.00 - $175,000.00 Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

## Description

As a Site Reliability Engineer on the Silicon Engineering team you will get the opportunity to design, operate, scale, and automate the high performance computing infrastructure we use to develop the chips powering the world's largest satellite constellation and a global internet service.
This position will have a meaningful impact on Starlink silicon by enabling faster design-iterations, simulations, and regression turnaround times that gate how fast our chip teams can ship.
