Job summary

Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC in Redmond, Washington is seeking a modeling and simulation engineer to develop, validate, and maintain physics-based models of the Leo satellite power system. You will build frameworks predicting battery SOC, solar power, and long-term degradation, linking models to mission plans and hardware configurations for mission planning tools.

You will validate predictions with on-orbit telemetry, identify model gaps, and iterate to improve fidelity while

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline required.
• 3+ years of experience developing physics-based or data-driven models for electrical, power, thermal, or electromechanical systems.
• 3+ years of proficiency in Python or Matlab for numerical simulation, data analysis, and model development.
• Experience with model validation against experimental or operational data.

Responsibilities

• Develop, validate, and maintain physics-based and empirical models of the Leo satellite power system.
• Build simulation frameworks that predict battery state of charge, solar array power generation, thermal-electrical coupling, and system degradation.
• Own development of orbit-level power simulations ingesting mission plans and hardware configuration to predict power behavior.
• Correlate model predictions against telemetry and iterate to improve fidelity.
