Sr. RF Engineer, Kuiper Antenna Test Infrastructure

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. As an RF Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to develop new, advanced test systems for our Digital Phased Array systems, integrating them with our existing test infrastructure. Key responsibilities include designing new acquisition systems, troubleshooting existing ones, and exercising pragmatism to devise test setups and procedures. Responsibilities: Develop our test infrastructure to measure antenna performance metrics of digital phased array systems and customer terminals in near and far field chambers, and automate the tests. Define test plans and procedures for lab and chamber testing, ensuring the required test coverage to verify requirements and validate models. Develop automation routines to control equipment and our custom-made antenna test system to accelerate antenna beam pattern test. Implement, validate, and optimize lab and chamber test configurations. Develop required post-processing to analyze test results. Document and interpret test results, troubleshoot issues, performing root-cause analysis for any test failures. Communicate status and issues effectively with developers and managers. Meet with suppliers to select enabling lab technologies. Shepherd antennas and customer terminals through test campaigns throughout the development lifecycle, from concept to implementation to integration. Basic Qualifications: Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent. Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures. 5+ years of professional experience in EM modeling in 2.5D and 3D EM tools. 5+ years of experience in RF design and modeling with linear and non-linear simulation tools. 5+ years of experience with MATLAB.
