External job description

As a Sr. Applied Scientist, you will be responsible for assessing and optimizing the performance and reliability of our new and emerging category of devices – Kuiper Customer Terminal. Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to un-served and under-served communities around the world.

In this role, you will use expertise in physical sciences, theoretical, numerical or empirical techniques to create scalable models representing response of physical systems or devices, including:
- Applying domain scientific expertise towards developing innovative analysis and tests to study viability of new materials, designs or processes
- Working closely with engineering teams to drive validation, optimization and implementation of hardware design or software algorithmic solutions to improve product and customer risks
- Establishing scalable, efficient, automated processes to handle large scale design and data analysis
- Conducting research into use conditions, materials and analysis techniques
- Tracking general business activity including device health in field and providing clear, compelling reports to management on a regular basis
- Developing, implementing guidelines to continually optimize design processes
- Using simulation tools like LS-DYNA, and Abaqus for analysis and optimization of product design
- Using of programming languages like Python and Matlab for analytical/statistical analyses and automation
- Demonstrating strong understanding across multiple physical science domains, e.g. structural, thermal, fluid dynamics, and materials
- Developing, analyzing and testing structural solutions from concept design, feature development, product architecture, through system validation
- Supporting product development and optimization through application of analysis and testing of complex electronic assemblies using advanced simulation and experimentation tools and techniques
