Embedded Flight Software Manager, Kuiper Guidance Navigation and Control & Propulsion
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.

In this role, you will manage the team who designs, develops and delivers the software used to control Kuiper satellites.

The team will code, test and support the embedded real-time application that flies the spacecraft from launch to re-entry. The team will also provide software support to the ground-based flight dynamics system used to control Kuiper trajectories, while working closely with the Guidance and Control and Flight Dynamics teams.

Key job responsibilities
* Lead a team of SW engineers implementing the embedded code required to: a) provide attitude control of Kuiper satellites and , b) control the Kuiper propulsion system.

* Lead or work alongside a parallel SW engineering team developing functions and services required to control Kuiper satellite orbits; working with the the Kuiper Flight Dynamics Systems team.

* Together with GNC SW engineer leads develop and execute a roadmap for GNC SW development.

* Create and maintain mechanisms used within the team as needed to plan/organize tasks and achieve consistent high-quality documentation of the complete engineering development cycle.

* Interface with the broader Kuiper organization advocating for GNC needs and ensuring GNC's customer needs are m et.
