Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.
Be part of the team integrating and verifying the system level architecture of Project Kuiper’s broadband wireless system from customer end points to terrestrial gateways via Low Earth Orbit satellites. This is a unique opportunity to define a wireless solution with few legacy constraints.
From directly interacting with numerous backend services supporting the mission, to controlling systems such as satellites and ground infrastructure, to automating equipment to support validation, opportunities to learn and develop are extensive!
