Project Kuiper is an initiative aimed at enhancing global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The mission of Project Kuiper is to provide fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide, thereby helping to close the digital divide. This initiative will cater to a diverse range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and organizations operating in areas lacking reliable connectivity. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will collaborate with a cross-functional team of hardware and software engineers to define requirements and ensure organizational alignment regarding trade-offs and priorities for launch team products. Your role will involve the day-to-day management of deliverables, dependencies, and schedules, driving this complex project through its incremental phases. You will establish and lead an ongoing launch readiness program to systematically drive progress and achieve critical program milestones. Additionally, you will identify and operationalize the metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) necessary to track progress and facilitate issue resolution and mitigation at a granular level across the organization. Your responsibilities will also include supporting and organizing the delivery of critical and complex work streams across the space and ground segments of Kuiper's software and services infrastructure. You will interface cross-functionally with Technical Program Management (TPM), Engineering, and Production Operations organizations, support the creation of launch operations standard operating procedures, and coordinate the design, qualification, and deployment of launch team products across Engineering and Launch teams. The preferred location for this role is Merritt Island, FL, but candidates based out of the Redmond, WA facilities will also be considered, with an ability to travel up to 25%.
