Sr. Software Engineer - Digital Twin, Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is an innovative initiative by Amazon focused on launching a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Senior Software Engineer on the satellite bus systems team, you'll be at the forefront of developing crucial digital twin technologies.

The role involves building and integrating sophisticated algorithms and simulation models to monitor satellite health, perform predictive analysis, and optimize system performance. You'll work with cutting-edge cloud technologies, developing models that track the health of critical hardware systems including satellite power subsystems, batteries, and solar arrays.

Working alongside world-class engineers and business leaders, you'll participate in all phases of software development - from requirements gathering through implementation and testing to operations. The position requires expertise in building and deploying models using automated operational workflows in cloud environments, with a focus on managing large sensor datasets and creating robust APIs.

Key responsibilities include performing simulations and scenario testing, developing monitoring systems for space and ground infrastructure, and collaborating with hardware and software teams on integration and validation. You'll be instrumental in automating operational workflows and building well-documented APIs that enable other engineers to develop custom models and integrations.

The role offers significant growth opportunities, including leading technical roadmap definition and mentoring junior engineers. You'll be part of a dynamic team tackling complex problems across multiple technology domains, working in a highly collaborative environment that values entrepreneurial spirit.

This position requires strong technical expertise combined with leadership capabilities. The compensation package is competitive, ranging from $151,300 to $261,500 based on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits. The role requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control regulations.

Join Amazon's Project Kuiper team to help build the future of global connectivity while working with cutting-edge satellite and cloud technologies in a role that combines technical challenges with meaningful impact.
