Software Development Engineer, Kuiper Telemetry and Command

Project Kuiper is an ambitious initiative by Amazon to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites aimed at providing high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide. As a Software Development Engineer on the Telemetry team, you'll be at the forefront of developing mission-critical systems that manage and operate this satellite constellation.

The role involves building foundational services for telemetry, contact orchestration, command, monitoring, and file transfer systems. You'll be working on infrastructure that processes and downlinks telemetry from satellites - a critical component for all mission phases and safe constellation operation. The systems you'll develop must maintain the highest standards of reliability, uptime, and performance, as they serve a fundamental role in the constellation's functioning.

Working with cutting-edge technologies including Java, Rust, and Python, you'll develop cloud-native solutions using AWS services. The position offers a unique opportunity to work on space technology while solving complex distributed systems challenges. You'll be part of a team that owns the entire telemetry pipeline, from on-vehicle software to ground-side processing.

This is an ideal role for someone passionate about space technology and distributed systems, offering the chance to work on technology that will literally impact global connectivity. The position includes participation in 24x7 operational rotation, emphasizing the mission-critical nature of the work. You'll be joining a team that interfaces with various subsystems within Project Kuiper and Amazon, making a direct impact on the safe and efficient operation of a satellite constellation.
