Software Development Engineer, Amazon Leo Antenna Development

LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. LEO will help close the digital divide by delivering fast affordable broadband to a wide range of customers including consumers businesses government agencies and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

Were looking for a software engineer who wants to build the test automation tooling and infrastructure that helps the team validate hardware and software faster without compromising quality. Youll own CI/CD pipelines for embedded image builds factory test station software simulation frameworks and cloud-based test infrastructure. Your work directly impacts how fast the team can iterate and how reliably we ship software to orbit. Some days youll be building Python automation that orchestrates a factory calibration station. Other days youll be wiring up end-to-end test pipelines that validate firmware images before theyre signed and deployed. You dont need embedded or satellite experience to start. You need to be a strong engineer who builds reliable systems automates everything they can and enjoys making other engineers more productive.

Were a small growing team inside Amazons LEO program. We own the software layer for the satellite antenna payload the actors services and infrastructure that make beam-forming calibration and hardware control actually work. Youll work alongside embedded software engineers SDEs RF engineers and hardware teams and youll have real ownership from day one. The team is early enough that your decisions will shape how we build and test for years. If you want high-impact work on one of Amazons most ambitious technical programs come join us
