Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is revolutionizing global connectivity through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). This role presents an exceptional opportunity for a Software Engineer to join a mission-driven team focused on bringing fast, affordable broadband to underserved communities worldwide.
As an Embedded Software Engineer in the Simulation Foundations team, you'll be at the forefront of designing and implementing distributed systems that enable Kuiper to operate within virtual environments at scale. You'll work with cutting-edge AWS technologies and contribute to systems that are crucial for the success of this space-based internet infrastructure.
The position requires expertise in embedded systems, with specific focus on ARM processor emulation, networking protocols, and real-time operating systems. You'll be responsible for developing sophisticated testing tools, implementing cloud-based services, and ensuring the reliable deployment of software across various environments - from virtualized hardware to on-orbit testing.
The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus comprehensive benefits including equity and sign-on bonuses. You'll be working with cross-functional teams, mentoring junior engineers, and contributing to a project that has the potential to transform global internet accessibility.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about space technology, distributed systems, and making a meaningful impact on global connectivity. The position requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control requirements, and offers the chance to work with state-of-the-art technology while solving complex engineering challenges in satellite communications.
Join Project Kuiper to be part of a team that's building the future of global internet infrastructure, working with advanced technologies, and making a significant impact on worldwide internet accessibility.
