Embedded Software Dev Engineer, Simulation Foundations

Project Kuiper is an ambitious initiative by Amazon to revolutionize global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). This senior software engineering role focuses on building critical simulation foundations for the Kuiper satellite network. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing distributed systems that enable Kuiper to operate within realistic virtual environments at scale.

The position requires expertise in embedded systems, particularly with ARM processors and real-time operating systems. You'll work with cutting-edge AWS technologies while following industry-best software engineering practices. The role involves creating simulation tools that bridge the gap between virtualized hardware, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and actual orbital operations.

As a senior engineer, you'll collaborate across multiple teams including device software, frontend, networking, and security. Your work will directly impact the development of low-latency, highly scalable architecture crucial for delivering high-quality internet service to underserved communities worldwide.

The compensation is competitive, ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location and experience. The position offers comprehensive benefits including medical insurance and 401k. Due to export control regulations, candidates must be U.S. citizens, nationals, permanent residents, or admitted refugees/asylum seekers.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced embedded systems engineer who wants to contribute to a groundbreaking project that aims to bridge the global digital divide. You'll be working with state-of-the-art technology while helping to build a system that will provide internet access to millions of underserved users worldwide.
