- Engineers working on SpaceX’s Starlink listed a number of “hot jobs” that SpaceX wanted to fill out during a question and answer session with the Reddits Starlink community on Saturday.
- SpaceX is renting out numerous roles in design and engineering, he said, and gave people an email to send resumes.
- They also promise improvements to Starlink, which already gives users more than 160 megabits per second.
- For example, they were working to reduce disasters caused by blocking branches or poles near Starlink terminals on the ground, they said.
- Engineers at SpaceX also said the reduction in production costs – and therefore the cost of Starlink for users – was “going well, but no doubt the toughest challenges we’re facing.”

Engineers at Elon Musk’s SpaceX on Saturday revealed how they plan to improve the aerospace company’s Starlink satellite-internet service – and said they are looking for people to fill “hot jobs”.
Engineers hosted an AMA on the Reddit Starlink community to answer questions about the company’s Starlink public beta test, which some users are bursting at speeds of more than 160 megabytes per second (Mbps).
Engineers said they were working on ways to reduce Internet emissions by blocking branches or poles near Starlink terminals on the ground, but did not elaborate. “We’re working on some software features that will make this better and, in the long run, the clearance you need will decrease as the constellation grows. So this will get better!” He said something.
They listed the various roles of product design, product design and software for the Starlink Internet service, and provided an email address to send emerging engineers to resume. SpaceX also hires antenna engineers, manufacturing development engineers and mechanical engineers for the role.
“Starlink is a very flexible system and will get better over time as we make software software smarter. Latency, bandwidth and reliability can all be significantly improved – come and help us get there faster!” Engineers of SpaceX wrote.
After launching its private beta test in June, SpaceX launched its Starlink public beta test on October 26.
How SpaceX is trying to make Starlink better
The engineers explained how they are hoping to improve Starlink, which includes a network of about 900 satellites that beam down Internet service on Earth. “We update all our satellites weekly, and push software updates every two weeks on Starlink Dish, WiFi routers and phone apps,” he said.
In response to a question about reducing the production costs of the Starlink kit, SpaceX said: “It’s getting better but there’s no doubt that it’s one of the toughest challenges we’re facing and there’s always ways to improve.”
His comments echoed a tweet from Elon Musk, CEO and founder of SpaceX. November 2, While he said keeping terminal costs low is “our difficult technical challenge.”
The Starlink kit, which includes a tripod, WiFi router and terminal to connect to satellites, costs જાહેર 499, plus 99 99, for a monthly public beta subscription.

The Reddit Starlink community seems to be impressed with the Starlink internet service so far. Despite saying SpaceX, users should expect speeds of 50 to 150 Mbps, with some constantly noticing download speeds faster than 160 Mbps.
The fastest speed recorded in the list compiled by the community was Seattle’s 208.63 Mbps.
Other Reddit users have posted pictures and videos of their Starlink terminal, which has strong winds, cold snow and freezing temperatures, with internet speeds reaching 175 Mbps even in extreme weather conditions.
