Job Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer to join our team at Amazon's Project Kuiper, a revolutionary initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, broadband networks to underserved communities worldwide.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing cutting-edge, real-time, embedded software that flies the satellite, as well as ground-based applications that predict orbital state, monitor for potential collisions, and optimize maneuvers. You will work closely with a team of experienced engineers to design, model, test, and iterate on the GNC system, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the satellite constellation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement GNC algorithms and software for satellite flight and ground-based systems
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, test, and integrate GNC systems with other satellite subsystems
- Participate in satellite-level testing, flight operations, and anomaly resolution
- Contribute to the development of new technologies and techniques to improve GNC system performance and efficiency
Requirements:
- 2+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or engineering experience (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems
- Experience programming with at least one programming language
- 1+ year of experience with embedded systems and aerospace, control systems, or real-time software
- Experience with design patterns, data structures, and test-driven development
Preferred Qualifications:
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
- Experience with interdisciplinary developments that involve hardware, software, and algorithm co-design and verification
- Ability to work with embedded Linux with real-time extensions, systems programming, concurrency, and scheduling
- Ability to build, test, and validate real-time or safety-critical systems
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary ($25-$35/hour)
- Opportunity to work on a revolutionary project with a talented team of engineers
- Collaborative and dynamic work environment
- Professional development and growth opportunities
