Job description

DESCRIPTION

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.

Innovation is part of our DNA! Our goal is to be Earth’s most customer centric company, and we are just getting started. We need people who want to join this ambitious program that continues to push the state of the art in distributed systems and software design. Come work at Amazon!

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Key job responsibilities
* Develop, test, and execute simulated and on-orbit spacecraft plans and operational procedures
* Design software to analyze and monitor satellite telemetry to assess state of system health
* Support payload subsystem and spacecraft system anomaly investigation
* Collaborate with teams to define the Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
* Develop automated payload operations tools, including test, validation, and simulation software infrastructure
* Participate in the full life-cycle of software development, from requirements definition and design all the way to deployment and maintenance in orbit
* Work closely with software, hardware and systems engineers to support design, build, integration, test, deployment, and operation of high speed optical communication systems

A day in the life
As a Software Engineer on Mission Operations, you will be a member of the Optical Inter-Satellite Link team, focusing on the design, implementation, verification, and test of software and hardware systems for high-speed optical communications. You will be responsible for identifying top level requirements and ensuring high quality and innovative designs are pursued, while also supporting other Project Kuiper colleagues with improving satellite constellation management.

About the team
We are looking for an outstanding software engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. You will work with a multi-disciplinary team of top-notch engineers and collaborate closely with the optical, electrical, firmware, and opto-mechanical development teams.

You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before. Along the way, you'll learn a lot, have fun and make a positive impact on hundreds of millions of people.
