SpaceX’s Elon Musk is planning to build a new factory in Texas for the Starlink satellite network service, according to the company’s report. The factory will manufacture consumer-facing devices, including Starlink dishes, Wi-Fi routers, and antenna mounting hardware.
SpaceX is also seeking an Automation and Controls engineer for the Starlink satellite internet division.
The company is already developing its Starship rocket and testing the Starship prototypes at its Boca Chica launch facility on the South Texas coast.
Starlink expanded the beta testing of its satellite network and started accepting pre-orders for the service in the U.S and internationally.
There have been speculations of a Starlink IPO, and in September last year, Musk hinted at listing plans when cash flow is more predictable and retail investors would get top priority.
Starlink has launched over 1,000 satellites and plans to have 4,425 in orbit by 2024, below the approved 11,943 satellites.
