Software Development Engineer, Kuiper Avionics Test Engineering

Join Amazon's innovative Project Kuiper, an ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites providing broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Development Engineer in the Kuiper Avionics Test Engineering team, you'll be at the forefront of satellite system design and verification. The role combines software development expertise with hardware testing, working on automated test systems for avionics subsystems in both development and production environments.

You'll collaborate with top-tier software and electrical engineers, working on unique challenges that haven't been solved at scale before. The position involves developing automation software for sophisticated lab equipment, including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and high-speed oscilloscopes. You'll be responsible for creating and maintaining continuous delivery pipelines that ensure software reliability and streamline development processes.

The team focuses on designing and delivering test systems for qualifying and acceptance testing of hardware subsystems for the satellite avionics bus, including flight computers, power delivery, and RF systems. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact, potentially affecting tens of millions of people through improved global connectivity.

The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location and experience, plus potential equity and sign-on bonuses.
