Software Engineer, Embedded Systems, Flight Embedded Software Team

Project Kuiper is an ambitious space program focused on launching a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Engineer on the Flight Embedded Software Team, you'll be at the forefront of space-based systems design, working on critical satellite functions including power management, hardware interfaces, command & telemetry, and autonomous control.

The role involves developing embedded software in modern languages like Rust, C, and C++, writing device drivers and system applications for various satellite systems, and creating software to interact with micro-controllers. You'll work closely with both software and hardware teams to support board bring-up and integration testing.

This is an opportunity to join a team that tackles many critical satellite functions and participates in all phases of software development from requirements through implementation and testing to operations. The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 per year depending on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in embedded systems development, a background in software architecture and design patterns, and the ability to work on complex, reliable systems. Due to export control requirements, candidates must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or have refugee/asylum status.

Amazon is known for its customer-centric approach and innovative culture, making this an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about space technology and embedded systems development. The role offers the chance to work on cutting-edge technology while contributing to a project that aims to make a significant global impact by providing internet connectivity to underserved communities.
