Key job responsibilities
As a SDE II on th team
- You will design, develop, and maintain scalable services and tools across our AI-assisted electrical design toolset: schematic design review, design and connectivity queries, component and datasheet intelligence, and design vault integration.
- You will own end-to-end delivery of features, from technical design through implementation, testing, and deployment in AWS.
- You will build and optimize data pipelines and APIs that support electrical engineering workflows, enabling traceability from each design version to the components and datasheets behind it.
- You will collaborate with electrical and hardware engineers to translate domain needs into robust, maintainable software solutions.
- You will drive integration efforts across engineering tools (e.g., Siemens Xpedition and its design vault) and internal platform services to ensure seamless data flow.
- You will contribute to AI-driven capabilities such as automated schematic review, natural-language design queries, and cited component specifications.
- You will participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and operational excellence initiatives.
- You will mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and ownership.
- You will troubleshoot production issues, ensuring high availability and reliability of platform services. A day in the life
As a Software Development Engineer on the team, the candidate will lead the design, architecture, and implementation of critical tools and services powering the satellite electrical design lifecycle.
These tools span schematic design review, design data search, component and datasheet intelligence, and design vault integration.
The candidate's work will directly impact Amazon's ability to scale satellite hardware development efficiently and effectively across engineering teams.
