Project Kuiper Job Opportunity 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. Come work at Amazon! 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. Key Job Responsibilities Kuiper is developing a constellation of low earth orbit satellites, enabling broadband internet service for the unserved and underserved populations of the world. Kuiper's Customer Terminal organization is responsible for developing low cost Consumer Terminals based on phased array antennas and commercial PCB processes/materials. Both projects are a first for Amazon, requiring unique architecture, hardware, processes, and tools developed within Kuiper to scale to a diverse set of customers in the next 5-10 years. Senior Systems Development Engineers / Automated Test Engineers at Project Kuiper spearhead the development and deployment of highly integrated systems. As a Senior ATE engineer, you will be the dedicated owner of a hardware test platform, responsible for driving and automating hardware-in-the-loop testing. In this role, you'll design scalable and flexible test systems that evolve with project needs, significantly reduce test time, and develop user-friendly tools enabling non-technical operators to manage test apparatus. Success is measured by your ability to generate clear, accurate, and comprehensive test reports, collaborate closely with lead hardware engineers to seamlessly integrate PCB designs into automated test environments, and make daily high-value judgments balancing tactical and strategic decisions. You'll be expected to meet system performance targets while adapting quickly to maintain schedules despite unexpected challenges. The ideal candidate possesses a unique blend of technical expertise and strategic thinking, thriving in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Your work will be crucial in ensuring the reliability and performance of Project Kuiper's advanced satellite communication systems through optimized testing processes and seamless hardware integration.
