From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon Leo 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.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, implement, and operate the VirtSat platform — Leo's virtual satellite environment that enables teams to develop, test, and validate satellite software at scale without requiring physical hardware. VirtSat provides high-fidelity emulation of satellite subsystems on cloud infrastructure, serving 70+ downstream pipelines and enabling continuous integration of embedded flight software.
In this role, you will work across the full VirtSat stack — building cloud services that orchestrate virtual satellite lifecycle, developing QEMU-based hardware emulation plugins, implementing provisioning workflows on AWS, and creating tooling that bridges virtualized environments with real hardware-in-the-loop testing. You will leverage best-in-industry software engineering practices to deliver a platform that is reliable, scalable, and enables satellite software teams to move faster with confidence.
You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open, collaborative peer environment working across embedded software, cloud services, and test automation teams.
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.
Develop and maintain provisioning workflows (CreateEntity, PowerOnEntity, ProvisionEntity) that orchestrate the full entity lifecycle — from instance launch through embedded software deployment to test-readiness
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
