Sr. Sys Dev Engineer, Kuiper Antenna Test Infrastructure
ZipRecruiter, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Overview
Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. Export Control
Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. or , U.S. permanent (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Role
As a Senior System Development Engineer, you will architect the HW/SW infrastructure for test automation for Satellite Payload Antennas and Customer Terminals. These products are complex systems that incorporate a Linux Embedded OS, with which you will interface. Responsibilities
Design new antenna test systems using RF equipment (VSA, VSG, GNSS simulators, digitizers, switches), RF up/down-converters, FPGA-based Digitizers, and controllers of motorized and electrically switched axes. Inspect the control hardware currently installed, and use that information to architect and design an acquisition system with TTL and TCP/IP controls. Determine automation requirements across the internal and external teams. Develop test frameworks for loading software builds and configuration, managing test cases, storing test configurations, executing test runs, logging metrics, and piping the data. Develop automation services to optimize measurements, data management and analysis for antenna and customer terminal verification. Train internal and external teams on test automation. About the team
The Kuiper Antenna Test Infrastructure team provides the test systems and techniques to verify Payload, CT and full satellite vehicle hardware, integrates the test automation and connects the dots between Responsible Engineers and their product's test metrics. The team is a pivotal point for a multitude of other teams and orgs, our internal customers. And its highly multidisciplinary: SysDE, SDE, ME, Metrology, Antenna, FPGA and Lab Ops all converge in the same room. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
