Project Kuiper aims to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and needs a talented scientist to implement capacity simulations and inventory optimization to support its business plans globally.
Requirements
- 3+ years of building models for business application experience
- PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
- Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
- Experience using Unix/Linux
- Experience in professional software development
Responsibilities
- Work cross-functionally with product, business development, and various technical teams (engineering, science, R&D, simulations, etc.) to implement the long-term vision, strategy, and architecture for capacity simulations and inventory optimization.
- Design and deliver modern, flexible, scalable solutions to complex optimization problems for operating and planning satellite resources.
- Contribute to short and long terms technical roadmap definition efforts to predict future inventory availability and key operational and financial metrics across the network.
- Design and deliver systems that can keep up with the rapid pace of optimization improvements and simulating how they interact with each other.
- Analyze large amounts of satellite and business data to identify simulation and optimization opportunities.
- Synthesize and communicate insights and recommendations to audiences of varying levels of technical sophistication to drive change across Kuiper.
