Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC's Leo Satellite Build Intelligence team seeks a Senior Software Engineer to architect workflow automation platforms connecting manufacturing engineering, supplier readiness, process qualification, production, quality, test, and operations into a unified digital thread.

You will build production software that ingests satellite build data, test outcomes, inspection signals, and on‑orbit telemetry.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
5+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience.
5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language.
5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.
Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team.
Experience designing or building software systems that use generative AI, machine learning, search, or retrieval‑based techniques.
Experience working with customers, stakeholders, or partner teams to clarify requirements and deliver software systems.

Responsibilities

Lead the architecture, design, implementation, and operation of major components of Leo's manufacturing intelligence platform.
Convert ambiguous manufacturing, quality, and test problems into clear technical options, written designs, delivery plans, and measurable success criteria.
Build production software that connects satellite build data, test outcomes, inspection signals, quality records, supplier data, engineering changes, and on‑orbit telemetry.
Design AI-native workflows that combine deterministic software, retrieval systems, foundation models, agentic tool use, human review, auditability, and safety guardrails.
Create evaluation mechanisms that measure AI workflow quality before production use, including accuracy, groundedness, confidence, escalation behavior, latency, and regression risk.
Define APIs, data contracts, integration patterns, and reusable platform primitives that partner teams can build on.
Lead design reviews and code reviews across the team and adjacent teams.
Mentor engineers and strengthen the team through technical guidance, mechanisms, and hands‑on code contributions.
