Senior Software Programmers

Amazon's Project Kuiper is seeking a skilled and motivated Senior Software Engineer to
In this role, you will be responsible for the full software product road map of prototype testing, the scale into production, and the database solutions that our test systems will use to store results to draw analytical conclusions.
You will be working closely with Design, Systems, Power, Reliability, and testing engineers to design, deploy, and optimize state-of-the-art satellite test systems.
You would participate in all phases of software development from requirements through implementation and test to operations.
You will be designing and implementing a wide range of low-level software on our custom test hardware and its interfaces with our cloud based services.
Provide technical leadership and contribute to the definition, development and implementation of test solutions for satellite battery systems in an ambiguous and complex problem space.
- Build software solutions to manage infrastructure needed to operate our system in a scrappy development environment and also in production at a large scale.
- Lead technical roadmap definition efforts and decide what features and performance improvements to build.
- Lead software design architecture for the test of Kuiper battery test and emulation systems (specifically the testing battery management systems, custom circuit boards, battery emulators).
- Design and develop complex test sequences that coordinate and synchronize equipment and services across multiple layers to verify function and performance of satellite hardware and software.
- Instill best practices for software development documentation, making sure designs meet requirements, delivering high quality software on tight schedules.
- Automate build, test and deploy pipelines.
