Franklin Zhang
Software Developer at Amazon
Kirkland, Washington, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolFranklin Zhang is a software developer with eight years of experience building mission-critical satellite communication and antenna systems, currently contributing to Amazon’s Project Kuiper Command and Data Handling team. He has driven full lifecycle delivery—from rapid prototyping to sustainment—across programs totaling $260M and personally accountable for over $4M in successful milestones. Franklin blends hands-on Python, C/C++, MATLAB and AWS tooling to deliver production data pipelines, test automation, and visualization that accelerated validation (60x in one case) and processed 300+GB of test data. He has led small cross-functional teams to solve hardware-software integration challenges like failed-component mitigation and automated thermal chamber control, and previously developed anti-jam and resource-allocation algorithms for airborne comms. Based in Kirkland, WA, he pairs academic depth (MS CS, USC; BS CSE, UCLA) with a maker’s curiosity for electronics and practical instrumentation, often writing simulators and shim layers to unblock hardware-constrained programs.
