    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

    Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

    Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.


    This role is responsible for creating software solutions that help test and develop satellite flight hardware, holding the gate to flight readiness.

    This is a highly collaborative position that interfaces with Project Kuiper engineering, production, and IT teams.

    Key job responsibilities

    • System Design and Analysis: Analyze business requirements and specifications to design automation and integrated systems that aid in the testing and development of satellite hardware and manufacturing processes.
    • Hardware and

    Software Integration:

    Integrate mechanical components, automation controls, electronics, sensors, and software systems to aid in the delivery of hardware test and development solutions.

    You will develop software that interacts with multiple systems, from flight hardware to production management.

    • Programming: Develop, configure and deploy software solutions that automate test execution and the post processing of complex data to determine viability of flight hardware. You will help accelerate the analysis and management of data used to test and develop satellite hardware.
    • Collaboration: Collaborate with crossfunctional teams, including teams in Production Operations, IT and Digital Operations. You will help integrate innovative development test systems with manufacturing software systems.
    • Safety and Compliance: Ensure that all integrated systems comply with internal IT and Security standards, with designs and code that is welldocumented and version controlled. You will contribute to the overall architecture for a highperforming, connected, safe and maintainable factory.

    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 that takes on ambiguous problems.

    You will work with leaders in multiple technology areas across Project Kuiper to define and develop controls and automation systems that accelerate the satellite test and development process.

    In addition, you will be responsible for project management, cost estimates, and scheduling.

    You'll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you'll be constantly looking for ways to improve your product's performance, quality, and cost.

    We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.

    About the team

    This team is organized within the satellite mechanical design team to accelerate the design iteration process and ensure on-time delivery of the most stable and successful product possible.

    The tasks and daily focus change rapidly, and you will often take on new and exciting responsibilities as required to ensure project success.

    Expect to be deployed to complex problems that are driving the design, identify the scope of the issue, and quickly establish functional solutions able to be tested and integrated into the design.

    You'll be constantly looking for ways to improve your product's performance, quality and cost.
