Senior Software Development Engineer - Direction, Route, and Control (Remote)
Join Amazon's Project Kuiper Team and Shape the Future of Satellite Technology! We're seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Development Engineer to play a key role in developing the Direction, Route, and Control systems for our Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation. As a member of our team, you'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, collaborate with talented engineers, and contribute to a project that will provide low-latency, broadband connectivity to underserved communities worldwide.
Our team is responsible for designing and developing the systems that control and navigate our satellites, ensuring they operate efficiently and safely in space. As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you'll be responsible for developing real-time, embedded software that flies the satellite, as well as ground-based applications that predict orbital state, monitor for potential collisions, and optimize maneuvers. You'll also have the opportunity to work on high-fidelity modeling and simulation software, and contribute to the development of various systems required to operate the constellation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop real-time, embedded software for satellite flight systems
- Design and develop ground-based applications for orbital state prediction, collision detection, and maneuver optimization
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate and test software systems
- Participate in the development of high-fidelity modeling and simulation software
- Contribute to the development of various systems required to operate the constellation
Requirements:
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 3+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems
- Experience programming with at least one programming language
- 3+ years of experience with at least one of: embedded systems and flight, feedback control systems, or real-time software
- Experience with design patterns, data structures, and test-driven development
- Experience with standard, full life-cycle, software development processes including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
Preferred Qualifications:
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
- Experience with interdisciplinary developments that involve hardware, software, and algorithm co-design and verification
- Knowledge of real-time operating systems, embedded Linux with real-time extensions, systems programming, concurrency, and scheduling
- Experience building, testing, and validating real-time or safety-critical systems
- Experience with sensors, actuators, embedded vehicle devices/flight, and/or control systems
- Experience with simulation in various settings: hardware-in-the-loop, monte-carlo, emulators
- Experience with operating remotely deployed systems in extreme environments
- Experience supporting system and instrument development for scientific/engineering users
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary: $27/hour
- Opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project with a talented team
- Collaborative and dynamic work environment
- Professional development and growth opportunities
- Flexible working hours and remote work options
