Embedded Software Dev Engineer, Kuiper Avionics Endpoint

Project Kuiper is an ambitious Amazon initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide, helping to close the digital divide.

As an Embedded Software Dev Engineer for Kuiper Avionics Endpoint, you will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and testing the embedded security systems software that provides secured communications between satellites, customer-terminals, and ground-based internet gateways.

Key responsibilities include:

• Driving the design, development, and operation of key embedded security capabilities for satellites throughout their lifetime.
• Owning unique embedded software functions through design, implementation (in RUST, C, C++ or other), test, and integration in embedded Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) environments.
• Writing software to interact with devices/electronics using I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, etc.
• Collaborating closely with hardware teams to support board design, bring-up, verification, integration, and testing.
• Following best practices in high-reliability embedded software development to ensure high levels of satellite security and reliability.

This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge space-based systems, solving complex development challenges in building highly reliable, power-efficient, and low-cost satellite avionics. You'll be part of a team tackling critical satellite functions including Bus, Telemetry, Command, and Data Handling.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in embedded development, particularly with C/C++, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of space technology. This position requires U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or lawful admission as a refugee or asylee due to export control laws.
