About Starry’s Technology:

Starry is inventing a cohesive system that brings the Internet to your home and distributes it throughout your home -- all wirelessly. We have been selling consumer Wifi products for over a year and we are beginning to deploy wireless Internet systems in Boston with other cities following shortly. We are constantly developing new products and working to optimize the performance and reliability of our existing technology.

About the Systems Integration and Validation Team:

The Systems Integration and Validation team plays a meaningful role in the development of our technology. SIV Engineers provide four main functions:

• SW build verification and regression testing: SIV engineers develop automated regression tests and run them against each major release of our system software.
• HW component characterization and verification: SIV engineers collaborate with the RF, HW and SW teams during development to test the component blocks that comprise our systems.
• Full system validation: SIV engineers develop automated tests to validate system functionality during the prototype and manufacturing stages. This work involves understanding the operation of the complete system in order to be able configure all parameters and execute usage scenarios.
• Investigation of system-level behaviors and issues: Demonstrating all of the skills described above, experienced SIV engineers are unusually qualified to drill down into the entire system in order to find the source of (and often solution to) meaningful problems. This work is often the most critical activity going on in the company.
