DESCRIPTION
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.
The Senior Technical Program Manager for Kuiper will manage the engineering change control process. This role includes direct responsibility for program management of system and subsystem design and development changes across project, to ensure alignment of changes in compliance with the technical design, interfaces, requirements, and programmatic schedule, cost and production requirements. This is a highly technical role requiring experience with integrated hardware and software development as well as some appreciation for complex applications, along with strong aptitude to deep dive into the data .
