Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites, aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Senior Automated Test/Systems Development Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in developing and deploying highly integrated systems for the Customer Terminal organization. This team is responsible for creating low-cost Consumer Terminals using phased array antennas and commercial PCB processes.

You'll be the dedicated owner of a hardware test platform, responsible for driving and automating hardware-in-the-loop testing. The role involves designing scalable test systems, optimizing test processes, and developing user-friendly tools for non-technical operators. Success requires generating comprehensive test reports and collaborating with hardware engineers to integrate PCB designs into automated test environments.

The position demands both technical expertise and strategic thinking, as you'll balance tactical and strategic decisions while meeting system performance targets. You'll work in a fast-paced environment, adapting quickly to maintain schedules despite challenges. The role involves implementing and validating digital/analog lab setups, configuring test equipment for automated operation, and working with cross-functional teams to prototype new technology.

This is a unique opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology at Amazon, requiring specialized architecture, hardware, and tools developed within Kuiper. The project aims to scale to diverse customers over the next 5-10 years, making it a first-of-its-kind initiative for Amazon. The role requires US citizenship or permanent residency due to export control laws.

The compensation package includes a competitive base salary ranging from $136,100 to $235,200 based on geographic location, plus potential equity, sign-on payments, and comprehensive benefits. Join us in revolutionizing global connectivity through cutting-edge satellite technology while ensuring system reliability through optimized testing processes.
