    Job Description

    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.

    This is a software development engineering position on the Power System team, which builds the ground services that monitor, predict, and optimize power system performance across a constellation of LEO satellites. You will develop software that ingests satellite telemetry, runs predictive models, publishes power operational constraints to other systems, and surfaces health insights to mission operators.

    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

    In this role, you will contribute to building and operating production services that:

    • Ingest, process, and serve large volumes of on-orbit telemetry and derived power system metrics
    • Predict future satellite energy state using orbital parameters and activity schedules
    • Compute and publish per-satellite operational limits consumed by other planning systems
    • Monitor constellation health in real time, detect anomalies, and automate fault escalation

    You will write production-quality code, build APIs, develop data pipelines, create automated tests, and participate in on-call rotations. You will work in a small, fast-moving team where you"ll ship code frequently and see your work directly impact satellite operations.

    This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position. You"ll work alongside systems engineers, data scientists, and mission operators, translating models and algorithms into reliable, scalable services. We want individuals who are curious, ship quickly, and care about operational excellence.

    Everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats, and work in a highly collaborative environment. We will need to tackle problems that span a variety of domains.

    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 here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
