About The Position

Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. As a member of the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) & Propulsion Integrated Testing team, this role will build, maintain, improve, and troubleshoot hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test capabilities. This includes monitoring the status and functionality of satellite components and support equipment, working with multiple stakeholders to optimize operations and resolve disruptions in availability, and automating tests and test equipment. In addition to support for existing test capabilities, this role will utilize existing design documentation (examples: bill of materials, layout and wiring diagrams, build and bring-up procedures) to procure, build, commission, and integrate new HITL test assets for internal customers within Project Kuiper. You will collaborate with teams spanning software, avionics, vehicle integration, reliability, and more to ensure Kuiper satellites are tested with rigor.
