Embedded Software Development Engineer, Kuiper MAC

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites aimed at providing high-speed broadband internet to underserved communities worldwide. As an Embedded Software Development Engineer, you'll be instrumental in developing the communication systems payload software that enables satellite connectivity with customer-terminals and ground-based internet gateways.

The role involves working with cutting-edge space technology, designing and implementing critical satellite payload functions including power management, hardware interfaces, command & telemetry, and operational state management. You'll be writing software in languages like C, C++, or RUST, working in embedded Linux or RTOS environments, and interfacing with various communication protocols.

This is an opportunity to join a team that's pushing the boundaries of space-based systems design, focusing on creating highly reliable, power-efficient, and low-cost satellite avionics and communication systems. You'll be working alongside hardware teams, participating in all phases of software development from requirements through implementation and testing to operations.

The position offers competitive compensation based on geographic location, with additional benefits including equity, sign-on payments, and comprehensive medical benefits. This role is perfect for someone who wants to contribute to a project that will have a global impact, bringing internet connectivity to previously unserved communities while working with state-of-the-art satellite technology.
