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 under-served communities around the world. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to help us build this service from the ground up.

Key job responsibilities
• Work with stakeholders across the Kuiper organization to define, design, implement, and optimize a state-of-the-art condition monitoring and remediation system for ground terminals.

• Own the deployed monitoring and remediation system, including leadership of a small team, ensuring performance meets/exceeds published SLAs/KPIs.

• Own the full software development lifecycle - including design, testing, deployment, mission integration, and operational support.

• Work with applied scientists/engineers on our team to define, test, and implement machine-learned anomaly detection tools, predictive maintenance workflows, and automated remediation applications.

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.

A day in the life
In this role as a Software Development Engineer, you will design, implement, optimize, and operate systems critical to the uptime and performance of Kuiper ground terminals. Your contributions will have a direct impact on customers around the world.

About the team
The Kuiper Ground Systems Engineering team is responsible for the development, deployment, and long-term performance optimization of Kuiper satellite ground terminals located around the world (Gateway and Telemetry, Tracking, and Command (TT&C)). Ground terminals include full-motion parabolic antennas, radio frequency spectrum monitoring, terminal monitoring and control, and fault management systems. These software-driven distributed systems form the communications backbone for the Kuiper constellation and must provide the world-class reliability, uptime, and performance our customers expect from Amazon.
