Maintenance Technician (Starlink) - Level 4/5

SpaceX 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 SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN (STARLINK) - LEVEL 4/5 Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation providing fast, reliable internet to 10M+ users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers and the software that brings it all together. The Machine Maintenance Technician will be involved in solving equipment and tooling problems in order to improve SpaceX asset availability.
