This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging opportunity to work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve. We want individuals who want to reach beyond what is possible today. Everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats and work in a highly collaborative environment. Our team is responsible for development and implementation of test hardware and test campaigns for integrated vehicle testing.

As a Project Kuiper Satellite Test Engineer you will work with multiple engineering and manufacturing teams across ground and space systems to specify test equipment requirements, develop test plans and complex test commanding scripts and execute test campaigns to support development and production test initiatives. Your focus will be in optimization of test processes to enable Project Kuiper production plans.
