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. This role combines cutting-edge space technology with critical government initiatives, focusing on secure and high-performance communication systems.

The position requires expertise in embedded systems development, working with both Embedded Linux and RTOS platforms. You'll be responsible for developing fault-tolerant, real-time software solutions, implementing low-level drivers, and ensuring system security through bootloaders and cryptography implementation. The role involves close collaboration with hardware teams for system integration and requires strong debugging skills using specialized tools like logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.

Working in Northridge, CA, or Redmond, WA, you'll join a multidisciplinary team at KGS developing targeted solutions for custom satellite and ground applications. The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $151,300 to $261,500 per year, depending on location and experience, plus comprehensive benefits. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of space-based communications while working on mission-critical systems for U.S. and allied government customers.

The position requires U.S. citizenship due to government requirements and demands full-time onsite presence. You'll be part of a team breaking new ground in satellite communications, from custom silicon to secure software development, making global connectivity a reality while maintaining the highest standards of security and reliability.
