Redmond, United States Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC Full time
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.

This role is for a highly innovative and dynamic individual with the ability to design the highest power, lowest cost per watt, and lowest mass solar module flown in space In this role, you will be responsible for the design definition, analysis, and test methodology to verify and demonstrate that the solar module will meet the end of life power requirements for the satellite constellation. You will apply research, your creativity, and experience to develop a solar module that meets the satellite reliability goals. You will be able to trade the design space ranging from power output, mass, cost, manufacturability, reliability, and degradation factors. This is a hands-on role and requires a self-starter with extensive skills in materials selection and solar cell packaging. You will be expected to defend your design decisions through technical design reviews and demonstrate the products produce-ability and performance through the full product development life cycle.

Key job responsibilities
- Design and improve upon the solar modules used on the Kuiper Satellites. This includes aspects related to test, reliability, and material selection to optimize degradation factors and manufacturability.
- Identify and analyze requirements in support of trade studies and the solar modules interfaces to the solar array assembly.
- Create, iterate, and own detailed CAD models of the solar module design options - Including drawings, process requirements, models, and the identification of critical characteristics.
- Analyze (classical / FEA) and respond to all load conditions (static, dynamic, thermal, fatigue) for compliance.
- Build development sample solar modules as path finders for further process and design improvements.
- Develop test plans throughout development with variable isolation DOEs and statistical analysis for long term reliability assessments as needed.
- Define qualification plans and identify acceptance testing methods at volume production.
- Facilitate cost trades on multiple parallel configurations for cost/manufacturability vs design uncertainty.
- Produce complete design packages – detailed drawings, analysis reports, BOMs, Assembly documentation, test reports.

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
