Embedded Software Engineer, Kuiper Government Solutions

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of 3,236 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, aimed at providing high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities worldwide. As an Embedded Software Development Engineer on the Kuiper Government Solutions (KGS) team, you'll be at the forefront of developing embedded software for satellite and ground systems.

The role offers a unique opportunity to work on fault-tolerant, real-time platforms while collaborating with hardware, systems, and product teams. You'll be developing secure, reliable, and high-performance solutions that will directly support critical government initiatives, enabling secure communication systems for U.S. and allied missions.

Working in either Northridge, CA, or Redmond, WA, you'll be part of a multidisciplinary team at KGS focusing on targeted and scalable solutions for custom satellite and ground applications. The position requires expertise in embedded systems programming, particularly with C, C++, or Rust, and a strong background in hardware-software integration.

Key responsibilities include designing and optimizing embedded software, implementing networking protocols, debugging complex integration issues, and mentoring junior engineers. The role requires a U.S. citizenship due to government requirements and offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location and experience.

This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to a groundbreaking project that aims to bridge the digital divide globally while working with cutting-edge space technology. You'll be part of a team that's pushing the boundaries of satellite communications technology, working with custom silicon and secure software to enable innovative satellite and ground systems.
