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.

About Company
At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.
Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.
It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
