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.

As a Payload I&T Engineer, you will be responsible for integration and test activities for various payload related features for the Kuiper satellite , ground gateway and the customer terminals.
You will work closely with colleagues throughout Project Kuiper’s wide-ranging, inter-disciplinary team to support both lab payload testing and troubleshooting and reproducing on-orbit issues in the lab. This will include test definition, execution, optimization and reporting of test data. You must be flexible, responsive, and able to succeed within a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
As a senior member of the Payload Integration and Test team, you will be responsible for verification and validation of the satellite payload including the ground gateway and customer terminals. This includes everything from integrating new features in lab with test equipment to getting features working end to end including ground service with the expected performance.

Responsibilities:
- Conceptualize and execute a test campaign with functionality and performance. Engage with systems, hardware, and software development engineering teams to accomplish the following in pursuit of integration and testing: capture requirements, define use cases, work backwards from product strategy.
- End to end functional and performance testing to include ground equipment, satellite, customer terminals and cloud services.
- Expand test coverage in lab by integrating with test equipment and collaborating closely with test equipment vendors.
- Troubleshoot deeply: anticipate failures, collect data, analyze log files, compare models to observed behavior, root cause.
- Troubleshoot and root cause MAC to application layer throughput degradation and packet losses across the system.
- Support and reproduce on orbit functional and performance issues in the lab.
- Draft and maintain high quality documentation for program-level feedback: test verification matrix, status tracking, test runs for record.
- Enhance testing efficiency by automating test execution and analysis.
