Project Kuiper is a visionary initiative within Amazon that aims to revolutionize global connectivity through the development of a state-of-the-art Low Earth Orbit (LEO) interconnected satellite communication constellation. Our mission is to bridge the digital divide by delivering high-speed, low latency, internet services to underserved and unserved communities and remote communities around the world. By leveraging cutting-edge satellite technology, we are working towards a future where everyone has access to reliable and high-quality internet connectivity regardless of their location.
The Kuiper Government Solutions (KGS) Engineering organization is a multi-disciplinary technology team established to rapidly address the needs of targeted government and international customers with specific solutions that have the potential to scale. KGS Engineering leads the development and delivery of targeted and scalable solutions for custom space and terrestrial applications. KGS collaborates closely with Project Kuiper to leverage the constellation of advance satellites to provide seamless and efficient communication capabilities to meet the needs of our customers. The KGS Engineering team is seeking highly technical and talented individuals who are passionate about creating unique solutions that result in a positive impact on a global scale.
The System Integration & Test (I&T) engineer will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to design, integrate, and test innovative space-based and terrestrial applications. The System I&T Engineer will work closely with colleagues throughout Kuiper Government Solutions (KGS) inter-disciplinary teams and collaborate with key partners and suppliers in order to ensure our system exceeds customer expectations. The System I&T Engineer must be responsive, flexible, innovative, and able to succeed within a collaborative, fast-paced, and dynamic environment.
As a member of the KGS Engineering Integrated Systems Solutions organization, the System I&T engineer will be responsible for developing the architecture and executing the design, build, and validation of test systems for complex systems and subsystems. The candidate will have the capabilities to develop test procedures, test software, test scripts, APIs, and automation to enable test and verification at various products levels including but not limited to system-on-chip (SoC) calibration algorithm verification, silicon wafer and photonics test, test automation and data analysis for electronics, opto-mechanical/opto-electrical subsystems, and system level tests including environmental tests. The candidate will be responsible for ensuring the test architecture supports all aspects of the integration, test, verification, and validation of one or more of the following: the satellite bus, RF payloads, optical payloads, custom ground terminals, or custom user terminals. This includes testing, analyzing, and optimizing the test support equipment to the particular satellite or ground element being developed. Testing efforts include functional and performance testing through various environmental conditions as required and it will be the candidate’s responsibility to ensure the test systems enable efficient test execution and requirements verification.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience working on large-scale programs with a diverse set of talented individuals, as well as with partner organizations (including government agencies).
Key job responsibilities
• Provide System Integration and Test leadership to one or more of the following: the satellite bus, RF payloads, optical payloads, custom ground terminals, or custom user terminals.
• Provide system-level test design technical expertise to one or more of the following products and services: satellite bus, RF payloads, optical payloads, custom ground terminals, or custom user terminals.
• Specify and develop end-to-end payload or sub-system integration and test plans and procedures to validate performance against customer and/or partner requirements
• Create test algorithms, test scripts, and calibration routines as part of performing lab and field evaluation of integrated satellites, bus, payloads or sub-systems
• Analyze system and subsystem test data and engage with cross functionally with teammates, partners, suppliers, or customers to evaluate the product performance and provide proactive feedback on potential improvements.
• Architect, design, and validate mechanical, optical, and electrical support equipment necessary to enable test execution and requirements verification
• Prepare reports documenting test results, test coverage, performance results and other key performance indicator (KPI) metrics, and communicate issues effectively with developers and managers
• Effectively manage and track to closure test anomalies, defects, and bugs; Debug, root-cause, and make continuous improvements of control systems in a high-rate production environment
This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. Citizen in order to comply with U.S. government-imposed requirements related to the nature of the work and/or where it will be performed.”
