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.They will work with design engineers to write design verification plans for power and signal integrity, as well as for standard and custom communication interfaces between integrated circuits and circuit boards.
They will focus on design verification, taking designs from subsystem testing and initial build through functional testing and system performance validation.
They will review designs from a Design For Test perspective
They will develop methodologies to test, including development of fixtures if neededThey will be using software simulation tools, to model circuits and systems, to analyze performance, identify failure modes, and optimize designs. This will allow them to proactively address potential issues before they manifest in the physical hardware.
They will ensure proper test execution, data collection and review, as well as demonstrate system requirement verification.
They will troubleshoot and propose viable fixes when faced with electrical failures. Using their technical expertise and problem-solving skills, they develop practical, cost-effective solutions that address the root of the problem and prevent future occurrences.
Export Control Requirement:
Key job responsibilitiesYou will own and manage comprehensive test procedures and execute system and board level test plans. You are expected to collect test data, perform data analysis, and document results.
In this role, you will conduct test readiness reviews and align with various stakeholders on data review activities
Expect to work with a team of top-notch engineers and influence overall test strategy by helping define system test requirements
You should be comfortable with a high degree of autonomy and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before.
You are expected to maintain requirements traceability during testing and solve integration and test problems in real time.
