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.

We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist to help architect state-of-the-art test infrastructure and lead the development of data models and analysis tools to represent the ground truth about satellite test results in order to facilitate important business decisions. Our team is responsible for core infrastructure and tools that will serve as the backbone of automated satellite testing operations to enable rapid scaling of manufacturing processes.


Key job responsibilities
- Work with engineering, software and manufacturing teams to understand drivers, impacts, and key influences on satellite performance
- Lead the design, build and implementation of production models and make decisions in real time for satellite test results
- Drive actions at scale to optimize test methodology and drive increases to satellite reliability
- Analysis and modeling of satellite telemetry from test results in lab and on-orbit
- Develop models and data pipelines for satellite telemetry
- Create and manage datasets for continued pre-training and supervised fine-tuning of LLMs
- Develop scalable visualizations for analysis of satellite performance

A day in the life
As a Project Kuiper Data Scientist you will own the architecture definition and development of data analysis tools to to aid engineering and production teams in deciding flight-worthiness of each Kuiper satellite and historical traceability tools to enable simplified discovery and interpretation of past test data. You will work with multiple engineering, software and manufacturing teams across ground and space systems, to specify requirements, define data collection, interpretation strategies, data pipelines and implement data analysis and reporting tools for Integrated Vehicle tests. Your focus will be in optimizing the analysis of test results to enable Project Kuiper production plans.
