As the HW Production Support Engineer, you will enable the successful delivery of the satellite RF hardware into the Kuiper satellite integration line. Consequently, you will work with the hardware engineering team and the production teams. This position requires a technical understanding of functions of the RF hardware and strong lab and test skills. You must be able to work effectively cross-functionally with multiple disciplines.
In this role you will:
• Troubleshoot non-performing flight RF hardware units, determine next steps, and lead the resolution plan to full completion
• Work closely with the test engineering team to improve test stability, reduce test time and guaranty the quality of the measurement data.
• Implement design changes to hardware to improve unit performance going forward
• Track performance trends of units in high volume space production line
• Work closely with production manufacturing engineering to improve process flow and reduce test errors or workmanship errors.
• Work closely with the quality and manufacturing engineering teams to ensure high quality space flight hardware
• Troubleshoot and repair circuits and fixtures.
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.
Key job responsibilities
