Sr. Software Dev Engineer, Kuiper GSG-Core Team

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.

As a Sr. SDE on the GSG team, you'll be instrumental in creating and refining the tools and systems that power this automated testing infrastructure. This role involves developing end-to-end automation for core testing processes, ensuring real-time health checks, and enabling continuous integration of new features across Kuiper environments. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to address challenging technical problems, optimize workflows, and drive improvements that reduce setup time, improve reliability, and support Kuiper's long-term goals.

Key job responsibilities:

• Design and implement automation solutions to streamline satellite contact setups and validation processes.
• Develop monitoring and diagnostic tools to ensure reliability and early fault detection.
• Collaborate with other teams to align automation with Kuiper's operational objectives.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, continually enhancing the stability and performance of test processes.
• Contribute to code quality and best practices, providing mentorship to junior engineers.

The GSG team is central to Kuiper's mission, automating and enhancing the way satellite-ground communications are tested and verified across a variety of environments. The team's work enables seamless and consistent satellite testing, supporting everything from early development to full-scale operational testing in dynamic and complex venues. By designing scalable automation solutions, the GSG team helps ensure that Kuiper's satellite network meets the highest standards of reliability and performance.

This role requires 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 due to export control laws and regulations.
