Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
Key job responsibilities
This is an electrical engineering position focused on processing and integration of Kuiper satellites onto a launch vehicle. In this role, you will develop electrical interface requirements between satellite and launch vehicle and drive technical data reviews for verification compliance. You will be responsible for the development and execution of test procedures for the checkout and integration of Kuiper satellites including ground support equipment through various phases of launch-site operations. You will provide engineering and technical support on launch-site activities between multiple stakeholder from the time the satellite arrives at the site to the day of launch. You will drive pathfinding test activities to verify power and communications interfaces, harnessing, and automated electrical ground support test systems.
In this role, you will travel 20% of the time, including extended travel.
Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
A day in the life
This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position. You will work with leaders in multiple engineering areas, technical staff, and highly skilled technicians on a daily basis. This is a cross-functional role requiring frequent interaction with multiple HW/SW design teams, launch vehicle partners, and mission management. Youll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and youll be constantly looking for ways to improve system performance, and manage non-conformances into actionable items and procedural improvements. We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.
