OfficeExecutive
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.
Akoustis is now operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX, providing industry leading RF filters using patented XBAW technology to help drive the mission of making human life multi-planetary and connecting the world through Starlink. We design, build, launch, and operate the world's largest constellation of satellites, enabling us to operate a global internet network unbounded by traditional ground infrastructure limitations. The root of SpaceX’s success so far lies in our mission to keep all engineering and production in-house, which enables a tight feedback loop, nimble decision-making, and speedy deliverables. With millions of daily users worldwide already online, Starlink is truly a game-changer and levels the playing field for those who were previously unconnected.
Akoustis supports the success of Starlink by supplying world-class RF filters manufactured to the highest levels of quality and reliability. At Akoustis, we are committed to manufacturing excellence, with a constant focus on yield improvement, cost control, and production throughput. We are seeking a driven, self-motivated yield engineer to join our semiconductor fabrication team, which focuses on producing high-performance RF filter devices. In this role, you will own FAB yield, identify trends, uncover root causes of excursions, and drive continuous improvements throughout the manufacturing process. This position offers the opportunity to make a highly visible, direct, and measurable impact in a dynamic, high-volume environment.
