You will develop forward-looking software services for mission critical space safety and sustainability applications which will automatically coordinate with external systems and organizations rapidly, reliably, and at scale.
You will develop system software for the networking stack on microprocessors and merchant chips to make routing/switching and packet forwarding
decisions for the satellite and the ground systems.



Key job responsibilities
As a senior member of the team, you will be responsible for identifying top level requirements and participate in all phases of system software development, from concept and design to development and maintenance. You will work with other members of the Kuiper team to support networking hardware bring-up and debug, and develop both prototype and production software. You must be comfortable leading software and architecture design reviews, ensuring Amazon’s high development standards are met and team best practices are followed.
  • You will work on design, implementation, and testing of the networking stack on microprocessors
  • Develop and troubleshoot in a Linux environment
  • Develop and/or support software for networking HW
  • Good networking foundational knowledge (LANs, routing, switching, wireless)
  • Knowledge of SDN, IP protocols, TCP/UDP, NAT, and bridge/routing networking protocols
  • Knowledge of Linux Dataplane features such as DPDK and eBPF
  • Write software in C/C++ or Rust and make code changes for L2/L3 forwarding and feature development with commercial packet processing ASICs and fix problems found in systems test and solution tests.
Write software in C++/Java/Python for SDN controller in the Cloud & Desktop environment
  • Build software systems with high availability, state replication, embedded database for check-pointing, Linux shared memory primitives, Route Forwarding Infrastructure and Logging Mechanisms

The role is located in Northridge, CA, and includes US relocation benefits.
Security Clearance : Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance of TS/SCI , so you must be a U.S. citizen for consideration.


A day in the life
As a lead on the Embedded software engineering team you will be responsible for leading the design of system software for networking infrastructure. You will work in a collaborative environment with teams inside and outside of Amazon. You will mentor a team of software engineers on best practices while you guide your software designs from requirements gathering through mass production. You will need to be flexible and responsive to high priority issues. This role will not have people management responsibilities.
