Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.
The Role
This role of a Software Engineer who will design, implement, and operate globally available distributed systems geared towards giving Kuiper the ability to operate within realistic virtual Kuiper environments at scale. You’ll build systems using the latest AWS technologies, leveraging best-in-industry software engineering practices.
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
- ARM A, M series or ARC processor emulator experience. e.g. QEMU
- Knowledge of networking protocols and applications, including TCP/IP. should include L1-L2.
- embedded software testing tool development
- have worked on FreeRTOS or any real time operation system before.
- Have expertise with Linux and RTOS
- Invent new tools that enable more frequent and reliable software deployment, test execution, and data analysis as part of a continuous integration and release system.
- Develop tools that allow for test execution across multiple environments: virtualized hardware, real hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and on-orbit testing.
- Design and Implement Distributed Cloud-based Services and APIs
- Experience with Docker,
- Partner with device software, frontend, networking, and security engineering teams
- Evangelize engineering excellence best practices and mentor junior engineers.
- Design and Implement embedded modeling and simulation for broadband access technologies: LTE, WiMax, WiFi or similar
