Sr. Software Dev Engineer, Amazon Leo Customer Terminals joins the Amazon Leo team to design, build, and maintain software powering in-flight connectivity for commercial airlines. This role involves developing the Leo Aviation Solution, a platform managing cabin Wi-Fi networks, satellite connectivity, over-the-air updates, and operational services. You will build production-quality software for certified embedded environments meeting DO-178C Level E standards, develop observability infrastructure including telemetry collection, and manage the software lifecycle pipeline featuring cryptographic validation and automatic rollbacks. The technical stack includes containerized software on embedded hardware, multi-segment cabin networks with VLAN-based traffic prioritization, and secure infrastructure for airborne systems. Key skills include C/C++, Linux, networking protocols, and experience with distributed systems or cloud-to-edge solutions. You will also contribute to architecture decisions, interface definitions, and hardware abstraction layers to ensure codebase portability across multiple aircraft platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement core modules for cabin network management, software lifecycle, and connectivity monitoring.
  • Develop production-quality software for certified embedded environments meeting DO-178C Level E standards.
  • Build and maintain the over-the-air (OTA) software lifecycle pipeline including cryptographic validation and automatic rollbacks.
  • Create observability infrastructure including health endpoints, telemetry collection, and ground-side data pipelines.
  • Define system interfaces and contribute to Architecture Decision Records to ensure cross-workstream alignment.
  • Execute comprehensive testing suites including unit, integration, requirements-based, and hardware-in-the-loop tests.
  • Integrate software across multiple cabin hardware platforms using hardware abstraction layers for portability.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 6 years of professional software development experience.
  • At least 5 years of programming experience with at least one software language.
  • At least 5 years of experience leading design or architecture for new and existing systems.
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead, or leader of an engineering team.
  • Experience in embedded development using C/C++ or designing complex system architectures.
  • Experience managing full application stacks from the OS up, including network troubleshooting and automation tools.
