What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hardware Dev Engr II, Simulation Foundations position at Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC?
Job Details
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.
Key job responsibilities
- 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.
- Knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts.
- Experience with systems integration and testing methodologies.
- Deep understanding of testing, continuous integration, build, deployment & continuous monitoring.
Preferred Experience:
- ARM A, M series or ARC processor emulator experience.
- 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
- Design and Implement embedded modeling and simulation for broadband access technologies: LTE, WiMax, WiFi or similar
- Solid aptitude in protocol standards such as IPv4, IPv6, Mobile IP, LTE, 802.16e, 802.11b/g/n/ac.
- Strong theoretical background in Wireless Networks.
- Knowledge in several of the following: network protocols and applications including TCP/IP, QoS algorithms, cellular/satellite network protocols, software defined networks, network security.
- Write high-quality Linux based software for common processors and microcontrollers (e.g. ARM, PowerPC, x86, etc.)
Export Control Requirement:
A day in the life
This role is for a Software Development Engineer who will build new cloud services and APIs that facilitates and orchestrates simulation of software on Kuiper devices such as satellites, ground gateways, and customer terminals. You will be building low-latency, highly scalable architecture that are critical to getting high quality internet service to customers.
About the team
We build the cloud systems and APIs for software running on Kuiper devices to run simulation to achieve high quality software ultimately deployed onto hardware.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - 4 years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience
- Experience with prototyping and implementation
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Knowledge of SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools
- Experience in the design of complex mechanical products and equipment at volume
