Own the Graviton bare-metal virtualization layer — KVM/QEMU VM management, subsystem start/stop, health monitoring, and fault recovery.
Develop embedded software in Rust, C, C++, or other modern languages for the virtualization and emulation layer
Write device drivers and system applications for the various satellite systems running on virtual hardware
Write software to interact with micro-controllers and emulated hardware peripherals (FPGA, HSM, sensors)
Build and maintain the custom AMI pipeline that pre-configures all satellite dependencies, reducing provisioning time and preventing dependency drift
Develop and optimize provisioning scripts that deploy satellite software (LEP images, firmware, certificates) onto emulated LRUs via SSM
Implement plugin framework extensions for new LRU types (satellites, GGMAs, GTMAs, customer terminals) on the Graviton host
Build network virtualization between VMs — WireGuard tunnels, inter-entity networking, and TT&C link emulation
Optimize boot-time and provisioning latency for QEMU-based satellite instances
Debug and resolve issues at the intersection of host OS (Ubuntu/ARM64), guest OS (LEP/Yocto), and QEMU emulation
Develop fidelity improvements — HSM crypto emulation, EFUSE emulation, CAN bus simulation, and error injection frameworks
Work closely with other software and hardware teams to support board bring-up and integration testing
3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
Experience in automation through devops scripting (e.g. shell, python, ruby, powershell)
Experience with Linux systems programming (C, Rust, Python, or Bash)
Experience with virtualization or emulation (KVM, QEMU, Docker, or similar)
Familiarity with embedded Linux (boot process, systemd, device drivers, or Yocto/Buildroot)
BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
Experience with ARM64 architecture or Graviton instances
Experience with QEMU device emulation, QMP protocol, or custom QEMU plugins
Experience writing device drivers or interacting with micro-controllers
Experience with network virtualization (WireGuard, bridge networking, TAP/TUN interfaces)
Familiarity with satellite systems, hardware test environments, or simulation platforms
Experience with EC2 bare-metal instances and SSM for remote commanding
Experience with AMI/image building pipelines (EC2 Image Builder, Packer)
Familiarity with certificate provisioning, secure boot, or HSM interfaces
Experience with Python packaging (pip, virtualenv) and container image management (ECR, Docker)
Experience with Rust for systems programming
