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.
SR. SATELLITE POLICY MANAGER (STARLINK MOBILE)
SpaceX is developing a breakthrough new Starlink Mobile satellite network to bring ubiquitous cellular connectivity worldwide via the Starlink constellation. We are partnering with telecommunication companies around the world to bring this service directly from satellites to existing cell phones, with the goal of providing coverage anywhere a phone can see the sky. Starlink was designed to connect the disconnected and this new product will greatly expand that mission, extending Starlink’s potential reach to billions of existing cellular devices. The applications range from connecting hikers in national parks, emergency workers such as firefighters, rural communities, remote sensors and devices, and people and devices in emergency situations. You can learn more about the next chapter of the Starlink Mobile program here.
Combined with new state-of-the-art satellite technologies, exclusive spectrum, and Starship’s unprecedented payload capacity to low-Earth orbit in a single launch, Starlink Direct to Cell’s next generation service will deliver unparalleled performance to standard, unmodified cell phones and IoT devices – helping to close coverage gaps and ultimately eliminate mobile dead zones around the world.
In this role, you will drive SpaceX’s regulatory and policy strategy to enable this ground-breaking service with a focus on telecommunications regulations, spectrum and satellite policy. This position will require you to apply expertise and focus to advance SpaceX’s licensing and spectrum positions in front of international regulators and government bodies. Success will require a high aptitude for technical fluency, creativity, and excellent strategic communication skills. This is a special opportunity to work at the cutting edge of space and satellite, mobile wireless technologies, and technology policy with a world class team.
