• Excellent software engineering fundamentals: OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, memory management, multi-threading or asynchronous programming (where relevant).
• Experience leading technical design, mentoring other engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
• Strong communication skills; ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive consensus.
• A user-centric mindset: focus on building polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences for end users.

Preferred / Bonus:

• Experience with writing automated tests for UI — unit tests, integration tests, UI automation tests; familiarity with relevant testing frameworks.
• Experience with performance optimization for desktop apps (memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, responsiveness under load).
• Experience with localization/globalization, right-to-left UI support, internationalization, accessibility for multiple regions.
• Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications.
• Previous experience in shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of feature areas or modules and drive them long-term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management.

What we offer

• A high-impact role: you will define architecture, shape the future of our Windows product, and directly influence what millions of users see and experience.
• A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture — you are not just a coder, but a builder and a decision-maker.
• Opportunities to lead — mentor others, steer technical direction, and grow into broader technical leadership (e.g. Tech Lead, Architect).
• Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility: you define how to solve problems, own features end-to-end, and contribute to long-term product vision.
• A purpose-driven mission: building software that’s reliable, accessible, and user-centered — making a real difference for people.

SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER (STARLINK)

SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity, including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable. We are looking for talented, creative, and driven engineers to develop, drive, and maintain suppliers, from initial concept development to full scale production.

As a Supplier Development Engineer focused on Final Assembly, Test and Packout for Starlink, you will play a critical role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and scalability of the user terminal manufacturing at our global suppliers.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Planning, proposing, and leading experiments to produce timely and accurate analyses used to drive design, development, and supply chain decisions, with a focus on scalability for high volume manufacturing.
• Assessing the suitability of a fabrication technology for a given part design, including its potential for automation and cost-effective mass production.
• Planning validation exercises to demonstrate initial feasibility as well as manufacturing capability at high volumes, incorporating throughput modeling and yield optimization.
• Analyzing results of validation exercises and provide technical recommendations to enhance efficiency and reduce variability in large-scale production.
• Reviewing progress of development activities at supplier locations and serve as point of escalation for critical process related issues, ensuring alignment with high volume ramp-up requirements. 
• Drive process development and capability assessment activities, reviewing part design documentation to ensure alignment with process capability for high volume manufacturing, including DFM principles for scalability and automation.
• Assigns specific tasks and work with SpaceX suppliers to support process development and/or data gathering activities aimed at achieving consistent high throughput and low defect rates. 
• Set clear goals for results and provide timely reviews of performance throughout program, emphasizing metrics for production efficiency and cost per unit.
• Establish validation procedures to figure out acceptance of tooling into development builds as well as mass production, incorporating statistical process controls and capacity planning for high volume output. 
• Review supplier tool design, process flow, equipment selection, DFM, and DOE proposals, with emphasis on their suitability for high volume manufacturing, such as automated lines and rapid cycle times.
• Identify shortfalls and corrective actions to ensure design compliance and scalability to meet production demands.
• Work with supplier engineering teams to map out process development exercises, secure resources, and commit to schedules in line with program goals, including ramp-up plans for high volume output.
• Assess supplier readiness to support build events and production ramp, evaluating infrastructure for sustained high throughput and supply chain resilience.
• Identify potential execution issues and provide recommendations to mitigate risk, focusing on minimizing downtime and optimizing yield in mass production environments. 
• Apply solid understanding of quality control and manufacturing concepts to develop specific Product Quality Plan (PQP) appropriate to program and commodity, tailored for high volume manufacturing with advanced statistical methods and automated inspection.
• Coordinate all Quality Engineering functions for a program, serving as project manager to lead efforts at supplier locations, ensuring robust processes for large-scale production.
• Actively participate in the program planning and monitoring process assuming responsibility for key deliverables at all milestones, including quality gates for volume ramp-up. 
• Provide technical direction and guidance to other Quality Engineers supporting the implementation of the PQP, promoting continuous improvement for high yield operations.
• Assess measurability and creatively address concerns directly with stakeholders, incorporating real-time monitoring tools for high volume lines.
• Identify and direct studies to implement improvements in measuring method where appropriate, such as adopting AI-driven analytics for defect prediction. 
• Establish audit procedures appropriate to program and supplier to ensure adherence to SpaceX quality standards, with frequency scaled for high production volumes.
