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.

Key job responsibilities
We seek a highly skilled and motivated individual to join our Battery Test and Validation Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing hardware and software systems that test and validate batteries on pack, cell, and component levels. You will be working with test and design engineers to release requirements for test system requirements, design an integrated hardware/software solution, and implement these systems into full-scale production. Your role will play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of our Li-ion battery systems

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.

A day in the life
- Develop test hardware and software systems that execute comprehensive test plans and validation procedures for Li-ion cells and packs for electrical, mechanical, environmental, and safety tests
- Scale-up production level testing and data review through automation
- Conduct one-off development testing for novel battery test plans
- Analyze test data, identify potential issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and implement appropriate solutions
- Maintain scripting libraries and internal dependencies that unlock partner testing teams
- Design and develop test setups, fixtures, equipment, harnesses, and connectors required for battery testing and validation
- Participate in design reviews, and risk assessments, to contribute to the continuous improvement of battery pack design and performance.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, systems, reliability, and quality engineers, to gather information, share findings, and develop solutions
- Ensure adherence to safety protocols and guidelines during testing and handling of Li-ion batteries.

About the team
The battery design organization is a product-oriented team that has been empowered to be entrepreneurial and nimble. The team owns the battery product life cycle from cell selection, to electrical interconnection, to pack structural design and test. We work with partner teams to define requirements, execute test campaigns to verify and validate our designs, and scale from new product introduction into full rate manufacturing.

We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
