Project Kuiper is about 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. Have you ever wanted to become involved in the global rollout of satellite earth stations for a high-performance satellite constellation? We are looking for a Satellite Communications Ground Engineer to join Project Kuiper's ground gateway implementation team.
You will lead efforts to design, deploy and commission high performance ground gateways, collaborate with subject matter experts to develop highly efficient gateway deployment processes and mechanisms, and be the on-site team lead for installation of Kuiper gateway terminals. Kuiper ground gateways enable our low-latency, high-speed broadband satellite communication constellation allowing Amazon to serve un-served and under-served communities around the world.
This position may require access to information, technology, or hardware that is subject to export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Employment in this position is contingent upon obtaining any required export licenses or other approvals from the United States government.
As a Gateway Commissioning Engineer, you will provide both engineering and on-site leadership to teams performing installation of our ground gateway systems. You will travel extensively (50%+) and be responsible for the installation of each site and direct the work of other team members at sites. You will also be the on-site engineer for performance of site configuration and acceptance testing. These systems provide mission critical communications with Kuiper satellites.
The Ground Systems team is responsible for the architecture, design, build, and installation of Kuiper’s Ground and TT&C Gateways. Our Ground Gateways enable high data rate, low latency communications between Kuiper points of presence and our Low Earth Orbit Satellite constellation. The team works closely with Ground Infrastructure Services, Networks, Regulatory, Payload Test, and RF Systems teams to ensure Kuiper provides a seamless customer experience.
