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. INTEGRATION AND TEST ENGINEER, AI SATELLITES (STARMIND) SpaceX is leveraging its experience deploying and operating the world’s largest satellite constellation to develop Starmind, a new constellation of satellites capturing solar energy in space to power low-cost, high-performance AI compute for Earth. Realizing this vision demands highly reliable, high performance electrical compute hardware, solar power systems, thermal radiators, and more. These systems must operate in the extreme environment of space while delivering the connectivity, control, power distribution, and processing needed for orbital AI inference. The Starmind team designs, builds, and operates the orbital compute fabric of the future. We develop nearly every key piece of technology in house – from the satellites’ flight computers and power systems to the fully custom compute electronics, memory, and networking that form the brain of our on-orbit data centers. As a Integration & Test Engineer on the Starmind team, you’ll have ownership over the entire manufacturing line for the hardware that enables advanced on-orbit AI processing and data center workloads. Your work spans the assembly, integration, and testing of industry-leading compute electronics, memory, and networking in order to achieve required domain sizes and processing workloads. RESPONSIBILITIES: Manage physical infrastructure of test integration and operations Mechanical design of infrastructure and tooling for test integration and operations Evaluate proposed designs for manufacturability and integration Interface with both engineers, specialists, and technicians to optimize testing operations New vehicle integration into new and existing infrastructure Enable day-to-day execution of vehicle integration and test flow to serve our customers Evaluate non-conformances to determine root cause and create actionable items and system improvements BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline 1+ years of design and/or hands-on manufacturing experience (internships/project experience is applicable) PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Master's degree in an engineering discipline Experience with MATLAB, Python, or another programming language Experience with integration and testing of propulsion, thermal, electrical and/or structural systems Experience integrating avionics systems Proficiency in NX/CATIA/SolidWorks or any industry standard CAD design tools Experience writing test plans, procedures, and providing go/no-go judgment and rationale Experience in a production environment Documentation and configuration management experience Demonstrated engineering intuition, critical thinking, and comfort with ambiguity ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Some travel to other SpaceX sites may be required as needed, up to 15% Must be willing to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed to meet mission-critical deadlines This position is very hands-on and requires one to be on their feet for extended periods of time, up to 4 hours at a time Will often work side by side with our technicians and must be able to climb ladders, stoop, bend, crawl, and work in tight spaces ITAR REQUIREMENTS: To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
