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.
To deliver on that mission Amazon is looking for talented candidates who combine superb technical research and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. Were looking for people who innovate and love solving hard problems and building hardware. You will work hard have fun and make history!
This structural analysis engineer must have a background in spacecraft development and must be able to understand the balance between engineering judgment versus analysis rigor and when each is appropriate.
Key job responsibilities
Technical Analysis & Documentation
Execute structural analyses using classical methods and FEM models
Document detailed stress analysis reports and engineering substantiation
Develop and maintain analysis tools and templates
Create and verify structural margin reports
Support configuration trades and design optimization studies
Test & Verification
Plan and support structural test activities
Correlate test data with analytical predictions
Verify compliance with structural requirements
Document test results and model validation
Production & Operations Support
Analyze nonconformances and provide disposition recommendations
Investigate structural failures and anomalies
Evaluate proposed design improvements
Support hardware inspection and troubleshooting
Design Reviews & Communication
Present analysis results at design reviews (PDR/CDR)
Participate in technical interchange meetings (TIMs)
Interface with multiple engineering disciplines
Support internal and external technical reviews
A day in the life
This Structures Analysis Engineer will be a SME in secondary and tertiary structures. They perform classical hand calculations for initial sizing and verification while developing detailed finite element models for complex load cases and dynamic responses. Time is split between creating automated analysis tools in Excel/MATLAB to streamline recurring calculations and supporting structural testing activities. They continuously correlate analysis predictions with test data to validate models and improve future predictions. The role demands fluid movement between systemlevel understanding and local detailed analysis while maintaining rigorous documentation and configuration control of all analytical work.
