Job Description
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.
A day in the life:
As an Senior Hardware Engineer you will have the opportunity to work on some of the most innovative challenging and exciting phased array antenna systems in industry right now. You will engage with an experienced team to conceive and design phased arrays aimed at delighting customers with affordable reliable high bandwidth connectivity. You will work closely with Project Kuipers various sub-teams and engage third party suppliers to drive product definition design optimization implementation and test. The Senior Hardware Engineer will have a complete understanding of how their design changes impact downstream partners such as operations supply chain product management and reliability. They will make daily high-value judgements on tactical vs. strategic decisions in order to achieve system performance targets and maintain schedules despite unexpected challenges.
