About the role

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC seeks a systems engineer to own propulsion subsystem requirements, interfaces with flight software, and drive verification across designs. The role blends systems engineering with hands-on propulsion hardware. You will work with experts across plasma physics, mechanical design, avionics, and test, contributing to design reviews and on-orbit readiness. Export control requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
