en.Wedoany.com Reported - Paul Schultz, former Google global internet edge and CDN network infrastructure architect, has joined SpaceX as Chief Network Engineer, responsible for Starlink backbone network, edge network, and xAI infrastructure.

Schultz spent nine years at Google, previously worked there for eight years starting in 2005, and served as Director of Network Engineering at PlayStation Now for two and a half years. Nearly a year after leaving Google, Schultz decided to join SpaceX. He said that after successfully dodging various job opportunities for nearly a year, he encountered something he couldn't miss.

SpaceX currently operates approximately 9,600 Starlink broadband and mobile satellites, and plans to begin deploying next-generation V3 satellites later this year, with downlink capacity of up to 1 terabit per second. The company acquired xAI earlier this year and has already leased some data center capacity to Anthropic and Google. The combined business aims to deploy up to 1 million satellites, forming a mega data center constellation. SpaceX detailed the AI1 satellite design earlier this week and plans to go public this Friday, June 12.
