Sr. Embedded Software Dev Engineer, Simulation Foundations

Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

As a Senior Embedded Software Development Engineer on the Simulation Foundations team, you will:

• Design, implement, and operate globally available distributed systems for operating within realistic virtual Kuiper environments at scale
• Build systems using the latest AWS technologies, following industry-best software engineering practices
• Work with ARM A, M series or ARC processor emulators (e.g. QEMU)
• Develop embedded software testing tools and work with FreeRTOS and other real-time operating systems
• Build tools for test execution across virtualized hardware, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing
• Design and implement distributed cloud-based services and APIs
• Partner with device software, frontend, networking, and security engineering teams
• Mentor junior engineers and promote engineering excellence
• Work on embedded modeling and simulation for broadband access technologies
• Write high-quality Linux-based software for common processors and microcontrollers

The role requires expertise in:

• Networking protocols (TCP/IP, L1-L2)
• Linux and RTOS systems
• Docker containerization
• Protocol standards (IPv4, IPv6, Mobile IP, LTE, 802.16e, 802.11)
• Systems integration and testing
• Continuous integration and deployment
