Job Description

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.

Come work at Amazon!

The Role:

Manage the team responsible for defining and modeling of Project Kuiper's wireless communication systems from customer end points to terrestrial gateways via Low Earth Orbit satellites.

This is a unique opportunity to define a groundbreaking, high-throughput wireless solution with few legacy constraints.

* Create documentation for technical-focused aspects of regulatory filings and help coordinate spectrum with other systems
* Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of resources (costs, power, spectrum)
* Work closely with implementation teams to evaluate and simulate expected system level performance and provide quick feedback on potential improvements
