Project Kuiper is an ambitious initiative by Amazon to launch a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) with the mission of providing fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Development Engineer in the Integrated Vehicle Testing team, you will play a crucial role in developing and implementing test infrastructure for Kuiper's satellite operations.
The position requires expertise in software development with a focus on building automated test systems for complex hardware-software integration. You'll work at the intersection of satellite technology and software engineering, developing solutions that will ensure the reliability and performance of satellite systems before launch.
Key responsibilities include architecting advanced test infrastructure, developing automated testing frameworks, and building scalable solutions for both development and production environments. You'll collaborate across teams, working with both ground and space systems engineers to create comprehensive testing solutions for fully assembled satellite vehicles.
The role offers unique challenges in a cutting-edge space technology environment, requiring skills in both software development and systems integration. You'll be responsible for implementing best practices in software development while working under tight schedules and managing complex technical requirements.
This is an excellent opportunity for a software engineer interested in space technology and looking to make a significant impact on a project that aims to bridge the global digital divide. The position offers competitive compensation, including base pay ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 depending on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits.
The role requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control regulations, and you'll be based in Redmond, WA, working with a team dedicated to revolutionizing global internet connectivity through space technology.
