Description For Sr. Microwave Sustaining Engineer

Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is revolutionizing global connectivity through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. As a Sr. Microwave Sustaining Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of ensuring the production and reliability of RF hardware that powers this groundbreaking satellite network.

The role combines hands-on technical expertise with strategic problem-solving, requiring deep knowledge of RF/microwave systems and production processes. You'll work in Redmond, WA, collaborating with a cross-disciplinary team of top-notch RF/Microwave engineers who are passionate about production scalability and data-driven decisions.

Your responsibilities will span from troubleshooting complex RF assemblies to mentoring technicians and driving corrective actions. The position offers unique challenges in scaling space-grade hardware production, requiring both technical excellence and leadership skills. You'll be essential in maintaining quality standards and improving production efficiency for components that will literally orbit the Earth.

The role offers competitive compensation ($143,300-$247,600 based on location) and comprehensive benefits. This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced RF engineer to impact global connectivity while working with cutting-edge satellite technology. The position requires up to 30% travel and U.S. person status due to export control regulations.

Join a team that values respectful technical debates and collaborative problem-solving, while working on technology that will help connect underserved communities worldwide. This role offers the perfect blend of technical challenges, leadership opportunities, and meaningful impact in the space technology sector.
