About Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and optimize highly reliable flight software for Star Tracker flight systems, spanning low-level device drivers and real-time control loops to high-level autonomous behaviors, fault management, and AI/ML-driven decision-making
• Architect and implement fault-tolerant, redundant software systems that keep systems operational with continuous uptime across a constellation of satellites
• Build and maintain robust test, validation, and simulation infrastructure, from hardware-in-the-loop testbeds to automated regression suites
• Own the full lifecycle of embedded software delivery, from requirements decomposition and architecture design through implementation, integration, deployment, and long-term maintenance
• Collaborate deeply with cross-functional teams spanning hardware, systems, communications, manufacturing and operations engineers
• Develop and refine autonomous operational behaviors that enable satellites to independently recover and adapt to changing conditions
• Drive continuous improvement of deployment and over-the-air (OTA) update processes for satellites on orbit
