Sr. Embedded Software Dev Engineer, Simulation Foundations

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to revolutionize global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). As a Senior Embedded Software Development Engineer on the Simulation Foundations team, you'll play a crucial role in designing and implementing distributed systems that enable Kuiper to operate within realistic virtual environments at scale.

The position involves working with cutting-edge AWS technologies and embedded systems, requiring expertise in ARM processors, real-time operating systems, and networking protocols. You'll be responsible for developing simulation and testing tools that ensure reliable software deployment across virtualized hardware, hardware-in-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing.

This is a unique opportunity to work on space technology that aims to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to the architecture of systems that will power the next generation of satellite communications.

The role requires strong technical expertise in embedded systems, distributed computing, and networking protocols, combined with leadership experience. You'll be working in a fast-paced environment where you'll need to balance technical excellence with practical delivery, while maintaining high standards for software quality and reliability.

Due to export control regulations, candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or admitted refugees/asylees. The position is based in Austin, TX, where you'll work with a talented team dedicated to solving complex technical challenges in satellite communications and distributed systems.
