Integrated System Test Engineer, Kuiper Guidance Navigation and Control & Propulsion

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide global broadband access. This role focuses on developing and implementing integrated hardware and software tests for spacecraft propulsion and guidance systems.

As a GNC & Propulsion integrated systems test engineer, you'll be responsible for testing the real-time software that controls spacecraft from launch to re-entry. You'll work across multiple teams to ensure all mission phases are thoroughly tested, maintaining high standards for technical excellence.

The position requires a strong technical background in software, hardware, or systems test engineering. While spacecraft experience is beneficial, it's not mandatory. You'll be designing and implementing integrated system tests, developing automated tooling, creating test documentation, and working with specialized hardware-in-the-loop test facilities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and evaluating integrated system tests for Kuiper GNC & Propulsion systems
• Developing automated testing tools and interfaces
• Implementing test automation scripts
• Working with hardware-in-the-loop test facilities
• Integrating tests into software release pipelines
• Creating comprehensive test documentation

The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $116,300 to $201,200 based on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits. This position requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control regulations.

Join Amazon Kuiper to work on cutting-edge space technology while helping bridge the digital divide for communities worldwide. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, technical excellence, and entrepreneurial thinking.
