Embedded SW Engineer, Wireless Systems

Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. As a Embedded Software Engineer you will be a part of the team participating in the definition and implementation of the communication software architecture of Amazon Leo's broadband wireless modem. You will participate in all phases of physical layer software development, from architecture design, through requirements, implementation, test, and operational support. This is a unique opportunity to innovate and define novel wireless technology with few legacy constraints. The team develops the communication system of Leo and validates overall performance within key metrics such as throughput, latency, system availability, packet loss etc.
