Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is revolutionizing global connectivity through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. As a Firmware Embedded Engineer in the MAC-SW team, you'll be at the forefront of delivering embedded firmware code for both ground networks and satellites, directly impacting millions of underserved communities worldwide.
The role combines cutting-edge satellite technology with embedded systems development, requiring expertise in real-time operating systems and bare-metal programming. You'll work with a diverse team of innovators, focusing on the design, development, and optimization of Kuiper-MAC firmware components.
This position offers an exciting opportunity to work on unique wireless technology while solving complex technical challenges. You'll be responsible for everything from performance optimization to hardware-software interface design, making critical decisions that affect the entire system's functionality.
The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus additional benefits including equity and medical coverage. This is a chance to join Amazon's space initiative and make a meaningful impact on global connectivity while working with cutting-edge technology.
The role requires strong embedded systems expertise, with at least 3 years of professional software development experience. You'll need to be comfortable with real-time operating systems, firmware development, and cross-functional collaboration. Due to export control requirements, candidates must have appropriate U.S. work authorization.
