Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious satellite initiative aimed at providing global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). As a Reliability Engineer on the Hardware Reliability Engineering team, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring the functional reliability and performance of satellite hardware systems in the challenging space environment.
The position involves working across the entire product lifecycle, from initial design to on-orbit operations. You'll be responsible for implementing reliability test plans, conducting environmental testing, and performing failure analysis to ensure hardware meets stringent performance targets. Collaboration with design engineers is essential as you'll help implement reliability best practices and participate in design reviews.
The role requires expertise in electronics manufacturing processes, hardware reliability concepts, and reliability test practices. You'll utilize advanced modeling and simulation tools to predict hardware performance and lifespan, while also investigating any manufacturing non-conformances or field hardware failures.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about space technology and hardware reliability. You'll be part of a high-performance team delivering a reliable satellite constellation that will help bridge the digital divide by bringing fast, affordable broadband to underserved communities worldwide.
The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $105,600 to $185,000 based on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits. Due to export control requirements, candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or have asylum/refugee status.
