Sr. Software System Engineer, Kuiper Solutions Engineering Team

Full-time
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.

The Kuiper Solutions Engineering team (KSET) is a multi-disciplinary technology team involved in developing and delivering targeted and scalable solutions for custom satellite and ground applications. The Solutions Engineering team works closely with the core Kuiper team, and addresses the needs of specific customers (such as government agencies).

The Sr. Software Systems Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining complex software systems for space. The work at the intersection of software engineering and systems engineering, focusing on the entire lifecycle of software development, from requirements analysis to testing and deployment.

The Sr. Software Systems Engineer will collaborate with other engineers and stakeholders to understand the functional and non-functional requirements of a system, and then designing and implementing a software solution engaging with the software team that meets those requirements. They are primarily responsible for architectures, defining and designing the functional approach to software operational including the interfaces between hardware elements.

The Sr. Software Systems Engineer may also be responsible for guiding the software development process, ensuring that projects are completed on time, within budget, and according to quality standards. They may work on a wide range of software systems, and embedded systems employing various devices for ground and space segments.

The Sr. Software Systems Engineer will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to design, integrate, and test innovative product solutions. They will work closely with colleagues throughout Project Kuiper’s inter-disciplinary team, and collaborate with key partners and suppliers, in order to ensure our system exceeds customer expectations. The individual must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

As a member of KSET, you will be responsible for new designs, analyses, trade studies, technology on-ramping, implementation and modification of Kuiper products, integration, verification, and validation of one or more of the following: the satellite bus, hosted payloads, interfacing with custom ground terminals, or custom user terminals. This includes testing, analyzing, and optimizing the particular satellite or ground element being developed, and ensuring that it meets the needs of the specific customer and/or target application.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience working on large-scale programs with a diverse set of talented individuals, as well as with partner organizations (including government agencies).
