Sr. Device 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 underserved communities worldwide. As a Senior Device 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 combines cutting-edge space technology with critical software development, focusing on fault-tolerant, real-time platforms. You'll work with custom silicon, secure software, and innovative satellite communications systems. Your responsibilities span from low-level driver development to high-level system architecture, requiring expertise in embedded Linux, RTOS, and hardware interfaces.

This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of space-based communication systems with minimal legacy constraints. You'll be working on solutions that directly support critical government initiatives, enabling secure and high-performance communication systems for U.S. and allied missions.

The role requires strong technical leadership, as you'll be mentoring junior engineers, conducting design reviews, and maintaining high software quality standards. You'll collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and product teams to deliver secure, reliable, and high-performance solutions.

Working at Amazon's Project Kuiper means joining a mission-driven team that's pushing the boundaries of satellite communications technology. The position offers competitive compensation ($151,300 - $261,500 based on location) and comprehensive benefits. The role requires U.S. citizenship and full-time onsite presence in either Northridge, CA, or Redmond, WA, with relocation benefits available.

This is an exceptional opportunity for experienced software engineers passionate about space technology and embedded systems to make a significant impact on global connectivity while working with cutting-edge technology in a mission-critical environment.
