So when looking up into the cosmos, can you pinpoint a few satellites?

Well, the skies are about to have a few more as Amazon says it’s establishing a logistics facility in Everett, Wash., and partnering with a technical college in Kirkland, Wash., to boost the supply chain and workforce pipeline for its Project Kuiper satellite broadband network.

Project Kuiper is Amazon’s $10 billion effort to build and launch more than 3,000 satellites that will offer high-speed internet access to tens of millions of people around the world. The project already employs more than 2,000 people at Puget Sound locations, including a 172,000-square-foot satellite factory in Kirkland and a 219,000-square-foot research and development facility in Redmond, Wash.

Amazon’s partnership with Lake Washington Institute of Technology in Kirkland — which is less than a 10-minute drive from the satellite factory — takes the form of a satellite technician certificate program that will prepare students for careers in aerospace assembly and manufacturing.

Brian Huseman, Amazon’s vice president of public policy and community engagement, said in a news release that the partnership “will help create a pipeline of future satellite technicians to meet the evolving needs of this area’s thriving space and satellite sectors, and give more people the opportunity to take part in Project Kuiper’s important mission.”

Some of those technicians may find themselves working at the newly announced 184,000-square-foot receiving and logistics facility in Everett, which is a half-hour drive north of Kirkland. Amazon said the hub is due to come fully online by next month, and will bring about 200 skilled technician jobs to the Everett area.

“Our new Everett facility will be the single point of delivery for all externally procured materials and goods for Project Kuiper, and the entry point into the internal Kuiper supply chain,” an Amazon spokesperson told GeekWire via email. “It will enable the Kuiper team to support full-rate satellite production.”

Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin said she was “thrilled to welcome Amazon’s new Project Kuiper facility to Everett.”

“This investment not only strengthens our region’s reputation as a hub for aerospace innovation, but also creates valuable job opportunities for our residents,” Franklin said.
