External job descriptionAs a Applied Scientist, you will be responsible for assessing and optimizing the performance and reliability of our new and emerging category of devices – Kuiper Customer Terminal. Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to un-served and under-served communities around the world.In this role, you will use expertise in physical sciences, theoretical, numerical or empirical techniques to create scalable models representing response of physical systems or devices, including:
- Applying domain scientific expertise towards developing innovative analysis and tests to study viability of new materials, designs or processes- Establishing scalable, efficient, automated processes to handle large scale design and data analysis
- Conducting research into use conditions, materials and analysis techniques- Developing, implementing guidelines to continually optimize design processes
- Using simulation tools like LS-DYNA, and Abaqus for analysis and optimization of product design
- Using of programming languages like Python and Matlab for analytical/statistical analyses and automation
- Demonstrating strong understanding across multiple physical science domains, e.g. structural, thermal, fluid dynamics, and materials
- Developing, analyzing and testing structural solutions from concept design, feature development, product architecture, through system validation
- Supporting product development and optimization through application of analysis and testing of complex electronic assemblies using advanced simulation and experimentation tools and techniques

- Master's degree, or PhD
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- 3+ years of hands-on predictive modeling and large data analysis experience
- 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."
