Key job responsibilities

Have you wanted an opportunity to develop the core wireless and networking for an advanced global telecom service spanning both space and terrestrial networks?

Have you wondered what it takes to solve a multi-dimentional resource allocation problem at global scale? Project Kuiper's SDN team will design, implement and operate Kuiper's network control plane.

This service will enable a high throughput telecom service using a system of LEO satellites, customer terminals, gateways, cloud services, and terrestrial network infrastructure that connect into public and private networks. For this role, you will :

• Take responsibility for designing and delivering a modern, flexible, scalable, high throughput, low latency network architecture
• Implement Routing and Forwarding, Traffic Engineering, and SDN technologies to deliver the best-in-class broadband network services for our customers
• Implement highly-available software that will drive networking control plane operation on physical and virtual nodes
• Define and automate processes used for software development, implementation, testing, and maintenance
• Provide operational excellence for control plane services, to including enabling toolsand definition / refinement of operational processes

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

This is an opportunity to be at the heart of the design, building and operation of a massive satellite constellation and terrestrial network.

We interact with the satellite ground control services, the customer engagement systems and monitoring services to constantly fine-tune our network and deliver a high quality service to our customers.

You will be responsible to build the best network for our customers.

About the team

The SDN Agent team is building the brain driving the Kuiper Network. Innovation is in our DNA and we tackle the tough problems presented by a dynamic network at global scale.

It is our responsibility to ensure that the network works and our customer has a one-of-a-kind experience using our service.

Our team will design, implement and operate the control plane that provides a high throughput telecom service comprised of Low Earth Orbit satellites, customer terminals, gateways, Cloud services and terrestrial network infrastructure that connects into public and private networks.
