About the position
Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband internet connectivity to un-served and under-served communities around the world. In this role, you will be bringing that vision to life by architecting, developing and testing the communication systems payload software that provides the radio link connectivity between the satellites to customer-terminals and the ground-based internet gateways.
Responsibilities
- Drive the design, development, and operation of key functions such as commanding, telemetry, power control, hardware interfaces, and autonomous capabilities for each satellite throughout its lifetime – from launch to de-orbit.
Requirements
- Outstanding software engineering skills.
- Experience in all phases of software development from requirements through implementation and test to operations.
- Ability to tackle critical satellite payload functions including payload power management, hardware interfaces, command & telemetry, operational state management, thermal management, resiliency and redundancy, hardware and software integration.
