As a Senior Electrical Engineer on Amazon Kuiper’s avionics development team, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of satellite avionics subsystems, from architecture and requirements through production ramp. Your responsibilities include driving circuit design, analysis, ECAD schematic capture, hardware design reviews, and test strategies to ensure performance and reliability targets are met. You will work closely with cross-functional teams such as systems, firmware, manufacturing, and integration to deliver program milestones while raising engineering standards and developing other engineers. Key technologies and tools involve PCB design using ECAD software, high-speed interfaces, power electronics, and radiation-tolerant designs for harsh environments. This role requires 5+ years of hardware development experience across the full product lifecycle in aerospace or similar high-reliability settings, with expertise in complex board designs and system integration into electromechanical assemblies.
