Senior Interdisciplinary Systems Engineer, Manufacturing Test Equipment Standardization, Project Kuiper
Job Description
Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations 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.In this role, work with a team of engineers responsible for designing standardized test equipment used on the shop floor that can be built at scale as per the factory demands for contract manufacturing as well as Kuiper factory locations, optimizing provisioning and testing time by partnering with design engineering and software teams, partner with Contract Manufacturer site representatives and provide recommendations for design for manufacturing. In this role you will work across the org with many software and hardware teams identifying requirements, prioritizing critical efforts and providing updates to senior management and stakeholders.Key job responsibilities- Lead and conduct complex system-level analyses across multiple subsystems to evaluate design alternatives and optimize manufacturing test infrastructure architecture- Drive technical strategy and architectural decisions for test systems, balancing performance, schedule, cost, risk, and scalability requirements- Develop and implement processes to facilitate communication of system design/architecture with partner teams including contract manufacturers, software teams, and hardware engineering- Lead technical risk assessments and failure mode identification for manufacturing test systems, establishing test strategies and acceptance criteria- Derive and synthesize requirements for system efficiency, operational excellence, and user experience across the manufacturing test infrastructure- Identify and frame needs for analyses that balance impact and feasibility, conducting trade space studies to optimize test system design- Lead collaboration across diverse technical teams (software, hardware, RF) to establish design goals and technical specifications- Propose and implement changes to system architecture that improve performance, robustness, and extensibility- Educate and mentor others on systems engineering best practices and tools, driving standardization across diverse systems- Identify and escalate execution and technical dependencies in relation to schedule, managing cross-functional trade-offs
