Description Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. 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. As an Antenna Engineer you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to develop and execute tests of Payload phased array antennas and customer terminals using our state-of-the-art Spherical Near-Field (SNF), Planar NF, and robotic CATR antenna test systems, and build the bones of our Antenna Metrology lab. Not only that: you’ll design new antenna test systems to dramatically accelerate antenna beam pattern test, dynamic beam pointing test, and link verification, and build the de-facto fastest Ka-band antenna test system in the world. About the team The Kuiper Antenna Test Infrastructure team provides the test systems and techniques to verify Payload, CT and full satellite vehicle hardware, integrates the test automation and connects the dots between Responsible Engineers and their product's test metrics. The team is a pivotal point for a multitude of other teams and orgs, our internal customers. An it's highly multidisciplinary: SysDE, SDE, ME, Metrology, Antenna, FPGA and Lab Ops all converge in the same room.
