Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband internet connectivity to un-served and under-served communities around the world. In this role, you will be bringing that vision to life by architecting; developing and testing the embedded security systems software that provides the secured communications between the satellites to customer-terminals and the ground-based internet gateways.

Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will drive the design, development, and operation of a variety of key embedded security capabilities for each satellite throughout its lifetime – from launch to de-orbit.

Develop software to do cryptographic operations for secure boot and communications.
Own unique embedded software functions through design, implementation (in RUST, C, C++ or other), test, and integration in an embedded Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) environment.
Work closely with hardware teams to support board design, bring-up, and verification, as well as integration and test.
Follow best practices in high reliability embedded software development to ensure high levels of satellite security and reliability.
Work on the Satellite Communication Systems Payload.
