Job Description
Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast affordable broadband to a wide range of customers including consumers businesses government agencies and other organizations operating in places 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 seeking a highly skilled and motivated Reliability Engineer to join the Hardware Reliability Engineering team within the satellite development organization. The ideal candidate will have a background in electronics manufacturing processes hardware reliability concepts and reliability test practices with a focus on ensuring the functional reliability and performance of satellite hardware systems in the harsh environment of space. You will be responsible for driving the designforreliability best practices conducting rigorous testing and analyzing onorbit data to enhance the robustness of Kuiper satellite hardware.
You will play an important role across key dimensions of a products lifecycle: design trades product development and release manufacturing process qualification supply chain reliability environmental stress screens and onorbit fault and failure investigations. You will be a key member of a highperformance team responsible for delivering a reliable satellite constellation.
Key job responsibilities
Reliability Analysis and Testing:
Develop and implement reliability test plans for satellite hardware components.
Perform stress screening environmental testing and drive failure analysis to ensure satellite hardware meets reliability and performance targets
Analyze designs and test results to identify potential failure modes and mitigations.
Design and Development Support:
Collaborate with design engineers to implement design for reliability best practices.
Act as a key stakeholder in reviewing and approving designs for release.
Participate in design reviews and failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) to assess potential reliability issues.
Failure Investigation and Root Cause Analysis:
Investigate manufacturing nonconformances and field hardware failures to determine root cause. Travel as needed to perform deep dives into supplier processes.
Develop and recommend corrective actions to address identified reliability issues.
Maintain detailed records of failure analysis and reliability assessments.
Reliability Modeling and Simulation:
Utilize reliability modeling and simulation tools to predict hardware performance and lifespan.
Develop and maintain reliability prediction models and databases.
Documentation and Reporting:
Prepare detailed reliability reports test plans and procedures.
Present findings and recommendations to engineering teams and management.
Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements for satellite hardware reliability.
Continuous Improvement:
Stay current with industry trends advancements and best practices in hardware reliability engineering.
Propose and implement process improvements to drive improvements in reliability across the program.
Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering Materials Engineering Reliability Engineering Electrical Engineering or a related field.
2 years of experience in hardware reliability engineering preferably with a focus on satellite systems or space applications.
Knowledge of reliability engineering principles methods and tools.
Knowledge with environmental testing
Knowledge of failure analysis techniques and materials characterization methods.
Familiarity with electronics (PCBs PCBAs electronic components) and moving mechanical assemblies.
Self starting with excellent problemsolving skills and attention to detail.
Teamplayer with clear and concise written and oral communication skills.
Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to execute product design from concept to production
Masters or Doctorate degree in Mechanical Engineering Materials Engineering Reliability Engineering Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Experience with environmental testing including temperature cycling vibration highly accelerated limit testing (HALT) and highlyaccelerated stress screening (HASS).
Proficiency in Python including NumPy Pandas SciPy Plotly and Matplotlib.
Familiarity with PCB fabrication SMT and polymerics application manufacturing processes.
Familiarity with relevant industry standards including IPC JEDEC AIAA AEC MIL and SMC standards.
