Payload I&T Engineer, Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to revolutionize global connectivity through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. As a Payload Integration and Test (PIT) RF Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of developing and testing critical hardware components that will bring high-speed internet to underserved communities worldwide.

This role combines hands-on technical expertise with strategic lab management, requiring someone who can bridge the gap between theoretical RF engineering and practical implementation. You'll work with cutting-edge satellite technology, managing sophisticated test equipment and helping build the infrastructure that will power the next generation of global communications.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on space technology with real-world impact. You'll be responsible for everything from building test setups and configuring automated systems to coordinating with engineering teams and managing lab operations. The role requires both technical depth in RF systems and breadth in lab management and safety protocols.

Amazon offers competitive compensation, including a comprehensive benefits package and potential equity compensation. The position is based in Redmond, WA, where you'll work with a team of talented engineers and scientists. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with RF experience who wants to contribute to a project with global significance while working at one of the world's leading technology companies.

The role requires U.S. person status due to export control regulations, and you'll need to demonstrate both technical expertise and strong communication skills. You'll be joining a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your work will directly impact the success of Project Kuiper's mission to provide global internet coverage.
