Address Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
The Kuiper Solutions Engineering team is a multi-disciplinary technology team involved in developing and delivering targeted and scalable solutions for custom satellite and ground applications, including United States and allied government customers. We provide software for both applications and the underlying Linux platform. We work hand in hand with hardware, product and operations teams to deliver a great experience for our customers.
This role is responsible for designing, building out, and maintaining critical APIs and interfaces to link Kuiper capabilities to US Government customers such as NASA, DoD, and others. You will develop forward-looking software services for mission critical space safety and sustainability applications which will automatically coordinate with external systems and organizations rapidly, reliably, and at scale.
You will develop system software for the networking stack on microprocessors and merchant chips to make routing/switching and packet forwarding decisions for the satellite and the ground systems.
Key job responsibilities
As a member of the team, you will be responsible for identifying top level requirements and participate in all phases of system software development, from concept and design to development and maintenance. You will work with other members of the Kuiper team to support networking hardware bring-up and debug, and develop both prototype and production software. You must be comfortable leading software and architecture design reviews, ensuring Amazon’s high development standards are met and team best practices are followed.
