Description

Join Amazon Project Kuiper. Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

In this role, you’ll be supporting the creation of the world’s fastest antenna test systems, that provide critical antenna performance data relative to our state-of-the-art hardware.

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

You’ll support the data acquisition, interface to the test system, and processing of the data, interfacing with newly developed internal post-processing tools as well as third party software suites.

In this role, you will:

• Own unique embedded software functions through design, implementation (in C, C++, RUST or other), test, and integration in an embedded Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) environment.

• Write software to interact with devices/electronics using I2C, I3C, SPI, RS-422, RS-485, Ethernet, etc. communications.

• Work closely with hardware teams to support board design, bring-up, and verification, as well as integration and test.

• Interface with System Development engineers to automate data acquisition, transport and processing

• Interface with Antenna Engineers to automate post-processing using third-party software suites and generation of test reports.

• Follow best practices in high reliability embedded software development to ensure high levels of reliability and availability.

• Design machine vision systems for metrology of the DUT’s pose in the test chamber
