Manager, Electrical Engineering, Avionics
Job Description
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.We are looking for a technical leader, who has a demonstrated track record of building strong engineering teams and delivering complex solutions, to lead the Electrical Engineering team for the Satellite Avionics Bus. 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.Key job responsibilities• Lead the vision and execution for avionics hardware development for the Satellite Avionics Bus. • Work with key stakeholders across hardware and software development teams to define subsystem requirements.• Work within the Electrical & Test engineering team(s) to develop, test, and deliver hardware subsystems for the flight computer, power delivery, RF systems, and sensing systems on the satellite avionics bus.• Develop and manage development processes, including architecture reviews, requirement reviews, hardware design reviews, build release reviews, test results reviews, and flight release reviews.• Partner with cross-functional teams including antenna & RF engineering, mechanical engineering, software, test, integration, reliability, compliance/regulatory, manufacturing, program management, etc.• Hire, lead, and guide the various aspects of the avionics electrical engineering team through architecture, trade studies, technology selection, component selection, circuit design and analysis, schematic capture, design reviews, PCB stack-up design, PCB layout, prototyping, bring-up, testing, characterization, debugging, and productization.• Lead the planning and execution for electrical component and subsystem test plans to ensure robust electrical designs for space applications.A day in the lifeYou will lead your team for a variety of tasks for avionics subsystems, from board design, to board bring-up, design validation, and integration. You will work with a cross functional team to perform design validation and qualification testing for your subsystem. As your subsystem continues onto satellite level test and operations, your team will be the subject matter experts that interfaces with the vehicle integration & test and operations teams from test planning through launch and on orbit operations. Your team will be responsible for evaluating hardware health telemetry across test and operations while also developing processes to troubleshoot and to incorporate design improvements for issues discovered.About the teamOur team designs and delivers the hardware subsystems for the flight computer, power delivery, RF systems, and sensing systems on the satellite avionics bus. We are looking for an Electrical Engineering Manager who has a demonstrated team leadership and will provide deep technical expertise in defining, architecting, implementing, verifying, and deploying to the field highly reliable, power efficient, and low cost electronics that fly the satellite.
