About the position
Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. As a build system and tooling software engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team on a daily basis to derive CI/CD, develop tools to automate progress, and integrate frameworks to enable large scale (embedded) software development. You will work closely with colleagues throughout Project Kuiper to integrate various SW packages and subsystems. You will be part of the lifecycle of the development and deployment of the final integrated product. As a member of Kuiper Characterization and Operation for Payload System (COPS) team, you will be responsible for building embedded hooks required to inspect various KPIs in the protocol stacks, developing tools to automate most of the daily work, etc. During this process you will be interacting and communicating with cross-disciplinary teams across the Kuiper project.
