HW Dev Engineer-Payload, Kuiper PAA Hardware
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.
A Day In The Life As an Hardware Engineer, you will have the opportunity to work on some of the most innovative, challenging, and exciting phased array antenna systems in industry right now. You will engage with an experienced team to conceive and design phased arrays aimed at delighting customers with affordable, reliable, high bandwidth connectivity. You will work closely with Project Kuiper’s various sub-teams and engage third party suppliers to drive product definition, design, optimization, implementation, and test. The Hardware Engineer will have a complete understanding of how their design changes impact downstream partners such as operations, supply chain, product management, and reliability.
Responsibilities
Own PCBA development from concept through production
Design and optimize different blocks of electronics sub-systems
Design high-speed digital and/or RF circuitry in collaboration with various teams
Lead and review schematic capture and PCB layout
Lead PCB vendor engagement for DFM review
Optimize PCB stack-up for performance and cost
Generate test plans/procedures based off high level requirement definition
Complete board bring-up and perform test campaigns for different modules and subsystems
Design of automated test systems, test fixtures, and factory test
Support the transition of the designs to production
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.
About The Team The payload antenna team is responsible for the architecture, design, implementation, validation, qualification, and new product introduction to manufacturing for all satellite phased arrays. These antenna systems will meet performance requirements defined by the RF/modem team as well as environmental and reliability requirements defined by the mechanical team. To this end, the antenna team collaborates closely with all the partner teams including silicon, power, mechanical, thermal, modem, RF/Coms system, and SW teams.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
Experience with prototyping and implementation
4+ years of industry experience in mixed signal PCBA design
3+ years of experience in using schematic tool (Mentor Graphics Xpedition, Cadence OrCad, or Altium Designer)
2+ years of experience in using lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multi-meters
1+ years of experience in high-speed digital design (SERDES, Ethernet, PCIe, etc…)
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
Experience in motherboard design, PCB design including schematic capture, stackup and circuit board layout
1+ years of experience with signal and/or power integrity
