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. As a Sr. Payload I&T Engineer, you will be responsible for integration and test activities for various payload related features for the Kuiper satellite, ground gateway, and customer terminals.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conceptualize and execute test campaigns with functionality and performance
• Conduct end-to-end functional and performance testing
• Expand test coverage in lab by integrating with test equipment
• Troubleshoot deeply: anticipate failures, collect data, analyze log files
• Support and reproduce on-orbit functional and performance issues in the lab
• Draft and maintain high-quality documentation
• Enhance testing efficiency by automating test execution and analysis

You will work closely with colleagues throughout Project Kuiper's wide-ranging, inter-disciplinary team to support both lab payload testing and troubleshooting, as well as reproducing on-orbit issues in the lab. This role requires flexibility, responsiveness, and the ability to succeed within a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in satellite and/or cellular lab testing, experience with Linux, basic networking skills, and RF lab equipment configuration. Proficiency in test development using Python or similar languages is essential.
