Systems Engineer, Kuiper Ground Systems
Amazon, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Job ID: 2852295 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC
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.
We are looking for a hands-on and experienced Satellite Communications Ground Systems Engineer to join Project Kuiper's Ground Systems team. You will develop requirements and design for cutting edge antenna systems, collaborate with subject matter experts to develop highly efficient integration and test processes, and become a subject matter expert on Kuiper Gateway and Tracking, Telemetry, and Control (TT&C) terminals. Key job responsibilities
Become a key member of the Ground Systems development and implementation team. Develop architecture, specifications, requirements, and designs and perform analyses, prepare documentation, and conduct presentations for parabolic LEO TT&C and Gateway Terminal systems. Work closely with implementation teams to troubleshoot issues, perform data driven analysis of results, and make recommendations for improvements and corrective actions. Support the Ground Systems team and suppliers in execution of product development and qualification activities. Assist in the development of monitoring and control systems and methodologies, including operational and fault management plans and on-site commissioning methodologies. Support ongoing operations including fault analysis and resolution, and performance metrics and trends. Communicate regularly on status, risk, and change control. 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. A day in the life
As a Systems Engineer, you will provide leadership supporting execution of Kuiper’s ground systems design, verification, and operation activities. You will become a subject matter expert on the Kuiper ground system design and will be called upon frequently as such to support critical troubleshooting activities. About the team
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. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
4+ years of systems engineering experience in development and delivery of satellite communications systems. 2+ years of experience RF systems experience, preferably with ground tracking antennas and systems. Experience in product design, and/or integration and test at Ka-band as related to antenna systems and their associated ancillary equipment. In-depth understanding of satellite communications link budgets. Experience supporting ground systems development efforts including meeting cost, schedule, and performance goals. Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent experience-education. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience in development, integration, and commissioning of Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) or Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems, especially with respect to Ka-band satellite ground station equipment. Experience in writing and managing system and subsystem requirements, including definition and traceability. Experience in defining and documenting hardware and software and interfaces, between systems and subsystems. Experience supporting system engineering development efforts including meeting cost, schedule, and performance goals. Experience with software languages such as Python and analytics software such as PowerBI, Tableau, or Grafana. Ka and V band systems experience, preferably with ground tracking antennas and systems.
