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

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.
Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.
It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter
