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.Are you excited about developing the propulsion and guidance, navigation, and control subsystems for an advanced fleet of communications satellites? In this role you'll create the integrated hardware and software tests used in the development of these systems.As a guidance, navigation, and control and propulsion (GNC & Propulsion) software development engineer in test, you will support the systems lifecycle of the real-time software that flies the spacecraft from the moment of launch to re-entry. You'll work across both the GNC & Propulsion department and the broader Kuiper team to test all phases of the mission. In collaboration with partner teams, you will set the bar for rigor and technical excellence of the flight software deployed across the Kuiper fleet. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities.Key job responsibilities
