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.

You will join a multi-discipline team responsible for development of high bandwidth systems for free space optical communication between satellites. You will be responsible for characterization of commercial, off-the-shelf optical components and systems, drive development of custom optical components and systems where needed, to achieve low-cost, light-weight, and reliable systems that meet the performance requirements. You will support the optical design development, optical assembly, integration and test development.
