Embedded Security Engineer (Starlink)

An engineer on Starlink's Product Security team at SpaceX in Redmond who builds security into the software running across the constellation's space and ground systems, from home routers and dishes to gateways and satellites.

The engineer designs and builds security infrastructure such as cryptographic services, develops security features for Starlink hardware, builds security into factory processes and the network services behind them, prototypes and tests improvements, and maintains production systems. Useful strengths include applied cryptography, network and operating system security, secure boot, incident response and vulnerability research. SpaceX asks for a STEM degree or two years of security software development, coding in Python, C++ or Go, and experience securing operating systems or large distributed infrastructure; TPM and HSM experience is a plus. Extended hours are sometimes required.
