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.

Key job responsibilities
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will drive the design, development, and operation of a variety of key functions such as telemetry, power control, hardware interfaces, and autonomous capabilities for each satellite throughout its lifetime – from launch to de-orbit.

In this role, you will:
• Own unique software functions through design, implementation (in python, C++, C# or other), test, and integration in an Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) environment.
• Write software to interact with devices/electronics using I2C, I3C, SPI, RS-422, RS-485, Ethernet, etc. communications.
• Work closely with silicon and hardware teams to support custom silicon chip and board design, bring-up, and verification, as well as integration and test.
• Follow best practices in high reliability embedded software development to ensure high levels of reliability and availability.
• Perform embedded software optimization for faster execution to reduce production test costs. Implement design for manufacturability (DFM) principles to enable scalable and efficient testability.
• Work with production test engineers to successfully integrate and optimize embedded software into the production test environment.

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.
