Key job responsibilities
You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish solving problems that haven’t been solved at scale before. Along the way, you’ll learn from world-class engineers, build systems that scale globally, and see your work ship directly into the hands of customers.In this role, you will:- Architect and implement software frameworks to automate performance testing and calibration of Kuiper’s phased array antenna systems.
- Develop scalable, production-quality software (C++, Rust, and AWS-based solutions) that validates system performance from concept to manufacturing.
- Build automation to test system-level functionality, link budgets, and RF performance metrics.- Enable data-driven performance insights through automated test execution, collection, and analysis pipelines.- Define and execute software release processes, CI/CD, and quality verification.
- Work hands-on with hardware test equipment, antennas, and integrated systems.
Export Control Requirement:
A day in the life
You will design and implement the software that validates the performance of Kuiper’s antennas from lab test benches to fully integrated customer terminals. Your tools and systems will prove out the performance of one of the most advanced communication systems ever built.You’ll collaborate with RF and systems engineers, see your code run on live hardware, and make daily decisions that directly affect the readiness of Kuiper’s payload and terminal products. The software you build will enable critical data collection, system analysis, and calibration pipelines that ensure Kuiper hardware performs flawlessly on Earth and in orbit.
You’ll work closely with antenna, DSP, and system development engineers, contributing to test frameworks, manufacturing support, and performance validation. We leverage AWS tools and scalable software architectures to accelerate development, automate validation, and deliver reliable test systems used across the entire Kuiper organization.
