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.

Product Design (PD) strives to constantly raise the bar on the customer experience. Product Design Engineers engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to conceive, design and bring to market innovative consumer products for the Kuiper program. Key responsibilities include mechanical part and assembly design, testing, evaluating, and down selection. These positions identify key design attributes, and work quickly and efficiently to converge on an electromechanical design for the system. They highlight concerning issues to leadership and provide recommendations on how to revolve them. The output of their work is the physical product. They know intimately the rationale and tradeoffs behind each and every detail of the design from material selection, a reinforcing rib, a molding gate, etc. They work with manufacturing partners early to scale their designs for high volume manufacturing while optimizing for cost, performance and aggressive schedules. They have the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently with PD team members, cross functional teams, and executives.
