Systems Development Engineer, Leo, Nexus
Job ID: 3155403 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC
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.
Our team builds the infrastructure that powers Leo software development at scale. We’re creating intelligent automation and resource‑management systems that eliminate friction for engineering teams working with lab hardware—solving complex problems in resource orchestration, state management, and distributed systems to ensure hardware is always available, properly configured, and ready when teams need it. You will architect hardware and software platforms to enable standard and emergent satellite test scenarios, provide the computing backbone for multiple test venues, and improve uptime and equipment health of those venues through health checks and automation. The end goal is a secure, flexible lab that is healthy and available when various engineering teams need it.
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 Responsibilities
Architect and develop the hardware and software platforms that enable hundreds of engineers to discover, reserve, and utilize lab resources without conflicts or downtime.
Design and implement solutions in resource orchestration, state management, and distributed systems to ensure consistent availability and proper configuration of hardware.
Automate repetitive tasks and implement health checks to improve uptime and equipment health of lab venues.
Collaborate with engineering teams to accelerate development velocity and provide a computing backbone that supports realistic satellite test environments.
A Day in the Life Work at Amazon! You’ll join an ambitious program that pushes the state of the art in space‑based systems design, tackling challenging problems to build highly reliable, power‑efficient, and low‑cost satellite avionics.
Basic Qualifications
Experience automating, deploying, and supporting large‑scale infrastructure.
Proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, or Rust.
Experience with Linux/Unix.
Three or more years of designing or architecting new or existing systems with focus on design patterns, reliability, and scaling.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with distributed systems at scale.
