Description For Sr. DSP Modem Embedded Engineer - Project Kuiper, Flight Computer Software

Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is revolutionizing global connectivity through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge satellite technology that will provide high-speed broadband to underserved communities worldwide. As a Senior DSP Modem Embedded Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of developing critical embedded software systems that power satellite communications.

The position involves working with real-time operating systems and developing sophisticated software solutions for hardware interaction, including FFT, correlator, codec, and DPD systems. You'll be responsible for creating device drivers and system applications that manage satellite broadband links, requiring expertise in low-level programming languages like assembly, C, and C++.

This is an ideal role for an experienced engineer who enjoys both technical leadership and hands-on development. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, including ASIC design, Verification, and MAC systems, making this an excellent opportunity to work across the full stack of satellite technology. The role offers competitive compensation ($151,300-$261,500) and comprehensive benefits, including medical coverage and equity.

The position requires strong expertise in embedded systems and real-time software development, with opportunities to mentor others and lead technical initiatives. Working at Amazon's Project Kuiper means being part of a mission-driven team that's pushing the boundaries of space technology while making a real impact on global connectivity.
