About The Position

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. In this role, you will build the tooling, automation, and infrastructure that enables the team to develop, test, and release embedded software at scale. You'll own CI/CD pipelines for embedded image builds, factory test stations, simulation frameworks, and cloud-based test infrastructure. Your work directly impacts how fast the team can iterate and how reliably we can ship software to hardware. This is an ideal role for a software engineer who enjoys building developer productivity tools, test automation, and infrastructure — and wants to do it in a high-impact hardware program. 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.
