Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

We are looking for an outstanding Thermal Test Engineer who will support Project Kuiper in the development of satellite and ground components and subsystems, by driving thermal test campaigns to validate designs, support fast design iterations, and help us go from design to launch, through development, qualification and acceptance testing activities. The ideal candidate must have experience in thermal cycle and vacuum testing, producing actionable data to influence the design of spacecraft components and subsystems.

Key job responsibilities
- Planning and development of thermal cycle and thermal-vacuum testing campaigns.
