## About the Role

Software Development, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), Software Development, Realtime Operating System, Cloud Computing, Embedded Software, Linux Operating System

## Description

Are you ready to work at the intersection of advanced spacecraft flight software and AI-native engineering?

We are reinventing how flight software is built for Amazon"s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation - bringing

AI-native development to one of the most demanding real-time domains in engineering. Our toolkit spans agentic

development workflows, coding agents (Kiro, Claude Code, Codex), agent harnesses, and the LLM optimization that powers

them - applied to software that flies.

The Role

You will own the full software development lifecycle, end to end. This is greenfield territory: no playbook exists for

AI-native flight software development, and you will help write it. We"re looking for pioneers eager to lead this

transformation. You won"t do it alone - you"ll work alongside distinguished engineers from the front lines of the space

industry with 20+ years of flight software experience, and seasoned LLM engineers, all committed to coaching, mentoring,

and growing new talent. Bring solid engineering fundamentals and the heart of a lion; we"ll provide the rest.

Responsibilities

 * Build, deploy, and optimize AI-native development systems - agentic workflows, agent harnesses, and LLM optimization -

for flight software in the space industry

 * Develop embedded software in C/C++ on a real-time operating system (RTOS), and cloud software on Linux
 * Write device drivers and system applications for flight code and flight management
 * Partner closely with hardware teams on board bring-up and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) integration testing

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.
