Embedded Jobs in Redmond, WA

DESCRIPTION

Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 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.

In this role, you will build software, tools, and automation that help engineering teams design, debug, validate, and operate complex satellite RF systems. You'll work across the stack — from embedded Linux services to cloud-based test infrastructure — creating solutions that accelerate hardware bring-up, streamline factory calibration, and improve system reliability. You don't need to be an RF expert on day one, but you should be a strong software engineer who learns fast and is comfortable going deep into unfamiliar domains.
Over time, you'll develop working knowledge of embedded Linux, 3GPP fundamentals, gNodeB
architecture, and RF system concepts.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who thrives on ambiguous technical problems, builds tools that make other engineers more productive, and wants direct impact on how satellite communication systems go from prototype to production.

About the team - The Amazon LEO Antenna SW Team develops software for the satellite payload antenna systems. We build the services, actors, and infrastructure that control antenna hardware — from VCXO clock disciplining to beamforming to factory calibration. We work hand in hand with hardware, RF, and systems engineering teams to bring antenna systems from prototype to orbit.

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 embedded software (Rust/C/C++) for Kuiper antenna systems
Design and implement reliable services and daemons that run on resource-constrained hardware
Participate in hardware bring-up, board validation, and factory test development
Own software from requirements through deployment — including design, implementation, testing, and CI/CD
Collaborate with hardware, RF, and systems engineering teams
Review schematics, logic analyzer, and embedded software (bare-metal) trouble-shooting techniques. this make sense
