Software Engineer, Kuiper

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide global broadband access. This role is critical in developing the embedded software systems that power these satellites, working with cutting-edge space technology to bring fast, affordable internet to unserved and underserved communities worldwide.

As a Software Engineer on the Kuiper team, you'll be responsible for developing crucial embedded software components using modern languages like Rust, C, and C++. You'll write device drivers and system applications for various satellite systems, create software for microcontroller interaction, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams during hardware integration and testing phases.

The position offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location and experience, plus additional benefits. This is a unique opportunity to work on technology that will literally reach orbit and help bridge the digital divide globally.

The role requires strong embedded systems expertise and software development experience. You'll need to be authorized to work with export-controlled technology, requiring U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or asylee/refugee status. If you're passionate about space technology and want to make a global impact while working with cutting-edge embedded systems, this role offers an exceptional opportunity to be part of Amazon's next frontier in connectivity.
