Starlink Gateway Production Technician - Temporary

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. STARLINK GATEWAY PRODUCTION TECHNICIAN - TEMPORARY SpaceX’s Starlink program is building the world’s most advanced satellite internet constellation to deliver high-speed, reliable internet to every corner of the planet. A critical part of this mission is the production of Starlink Gateways, the high-performance ground stations that connect the satellite network to the terrestrial internet backbone. We are looking for motivated, hands-on Production Technicians to help scale Gateway manufacturing with uncompromising focus on quality, reliability, and throughput. If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, enjoy building complex electro-mechanical systems, and want to contribute directly to a technology that is transforming global connectivity, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your career at SpaceX.
