Senior SDE - Full Stack, Kuiper Ground Control Console

DESCRIPTION

Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband network connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

As a Full Stack Sr. Software Development Engineer you will own the development, implementation, and test of the operational tooling applications built to execute the Kuiper mission.

You will work with engineering teams across ground and space systems to understand how the system functions and deliver an integrated solution to prepare for and execute the mission. Because of the scale of the mission, you will be focused on creating performant applications and systems and driving operational excellence - identifying areas of improvement and initiating changes to improve the productivity of the fleet.

You will build and maintain the tooling system used across Kuiper to support activities like launch and on-orbit demonstration, operational rehearsals, constellation automation, as well as numerous other critical mission functions. While this tooling system is mostly frontend applications, you will also own the architecture and backend systems that support these applications.

The ideal candidate will be detail oriented, have strong organizational skills, able to work independently, juggle multiple tasks at once, and maintain professionalism under pressure. You should have deep knowledge software engineering practices, be comfortable with front end applications, understand how software and hardware systems interact, and can drive design and implementation of operational execution of objectives in complex systems. Familiarity with space systems is desired, but not required.

Export Control Requirement:
