Description For Sr. SW Dev Engineer(Embedded), Kuiper Flight Software

Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is revolutionizing global connectivity through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. This role is crucial in developing embedded software for satellite systems that will provide high-speed broadband to underserved communities worldwide.

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Flight Software team, you'll be at the forefront of space-based systems design, working on critical satellite functions including power management, hardware interfaces, command & telemetry, and autonomous control. You'll develop embedded software using modern languages like Rust, C, and C++, create device drivers, and work with microcontrollers.

The position offers a competitive compensation package ranging from $151,300 to $261,500 based on location, plus equity and comprehensive benefits. You'll join a team that values innovation and technical leadership, working closely with hardware teams on board bring-up and integration testing.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge space program while solving complex challenges in building highly reliable, power-efficient, and low-cost satellite avionics. The role requires strong technical expertise and leadership experience, with the ability to mentor others and drive architectural decisions.

Due to export control regulations, candidates must be U.S. citizens, nationals, permanent residents, or admitted refugees/asylees. Join Amazon's mission to be Earth's most customer-centric company and help bring internet connectivity to communities around the globe.
