Full Job Description

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. 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. We are looking for a talented engineer to help develop and maintain the code infrastructure and software procedures used to process Kuiper satellites for launch. As part of the Kuiper team, you will solve difficult problems where resolutions have high impact, and help create a brand new set of launch site processes and standards. To be successful you need to be highly motivated and detail oriented while maintaining the highest standards of execution. The Launch Operations Systems Engineer is part of a team of system development engineers who build and maintain both a code pipeline and a code library used to process satellites at the launch sites. This code includes the ability to charge the satellite batteries, perform a health and aliveness check, load propellant, and integrate with the launch providers’ hardware. The individual must be comfortable working with both satellite hardware and software technologies and understand how software solutions directly impact the satellite and the people working on it. The ideal candidate is an electrical engineer who loves to code or a software engineer who enjoys working on physical systems. This engineer will work directly with the manufacturing engineering teams at the launch site as well as several software teams through the Kuiper orga
