Sr. Systems Technical Program Manager, Kuiper Enterprise Service Delivery

Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

As a Systems TPM on the Kuiper Enterprise Service Delivery team you will support Proof of Concepts, demos, and tech trials at Executive Briefing Centers (EBCs) and on-site with customers. You will also support partners and system integrators who work closely with Kuiper to deploy and validate our LEO satellite solutions, providing best practices and resolving critical escalations.

In this role, you will advocate for the customer and contribute to building product and solution roadmaps. You will build sales enablement material, tech notes, and technical trainings for Kuiper internal teams, AWS, as well as partners and system integrators. Additionally, you'll run tests on the Kuiper network using the latest customer terminals and compare/benchmark with competitor products to clearly demonstrate Kuiper's advantages, differentiation and explain to partners and customers the best tests to use when they evaluate Kuiper satellite solutions.

You will collaborate with engineering, product management, and business development leaders to plan and execute technical onboarding and acceptance testing for Kuiper Satellite Services delivered to enterprise customers.

You will develop system integration best practices, processes, and tools to ensure solution deployment can be documented, automated, and scaled to additional enterprise customers globally.
