Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. A Senior Systems Development Engineer in Leo Network Services is responsible for designing, developing, testing, deploying, and operating systems/services that enable broadband networks systems worldwide. We write and debug code, integrate new and existing systems, and create the world’s most innovative products. We work in collaboration with other teams for designing and delivering scalable, flexible, low latency, and high throughput network functions. We develop flexible and cost-effective solutions in support of connecting and peering with public and private networks. A key aspect of your position will be serving as a liaison between software teams and hardware teams. In this capacity, you will capture requirements for designing new satellite system capabilities to enable software feature development (examples include handover, mobility, Time Varying Channel emulation). The Leo Plexus team owns complex satellite systems, tools and software to enable new software & networking features to be developed and deployed on live orbiting satellites/ground equipment. The successful applicant will be experienced in designing new satellite system capabilities (mobility, handover...) to enable software teams the capabilities to verify new features in the satellite & customer terminals. You should be comfortable taking on ambiguous challenges like setting up new pre-production hardware for the first time. You should be able to define SOPs, metrics and alarms to keep equipment/satellite infrastructure highly available and expand the teams capabilities over time. You will be invaluable to enabling the team to move quickly and confidently with robust verification frameworks that scale with our systems.
