Embedded Software Dev Engineer, Amazon Leo Antenna Development

Amazon Leo is building a constellation of 3,236 satellites to deliver broadband from space. Our direct-to-device (D2D) program takes it further, connecting everyday phones and devices directly to satellites. Come build it.

We're looking for an embedded software engineer to build the software that controls phased-array antennas on satellites, from lab bench to orbit. You'll develop services and applications that drive antenna beam-forming, calibration, and hardware control, running on embedded Linux and managed through systemd. You'll debug boot sequences and board bring-up issues, and own your code through deployment. You don't need satellite experience. You need to be a strong engineer who figures things out, builds things that work, and ships.

We're a small, growing team inside Amazon Leo. We own the software layer for the satellite antenna payload, the services and infrastructure that make beam-forming, calibration, and hardware control actually work. You'll work alongside embedded software engineers, SDEs, RF engineers, and hardware teams, and you'll have real ownership from day one. The team is early enough that your decisions will shape how we build and test for years. If you want high-impact work on one of Amazon's most ambitious technical programs, come join us.
