TL;DR · Hardware Development Engineer II

Hardware Development Engineer II, Amazon Leo joins the CommSys team within AMZ Leo RF/Modem Dev to validate 3GPP- and O-RAN-compliant network elements across lab and integration environments. The role involves executing test campaigns, debugging complex system issues, and collaborating with integration, development, and automation teams to ensure product quality. Key responsibilities include designing test cases for LTE/5G NR features, performing functional and regression testing, and triaging failures across hardware, software, and network layers. You will utilize tools such as UE simulators, core network emulators, signal generators, and protocol analyzers, while using QXDM for OTA log analysis. Candidates must use Python, Shell, or TCL to develop automation scripts for CI/CD pipelines. The work focuses on solving technical challenges within the RF hardware and O-RAN stack architecture.

What you'll do

  • Translate 3GPP and O-RAN conformance specifications into executable test cases.
  • Design new test cases to extend coverage for emerging features and product-specific scenarios.
  • Plan and execute functional, performance, conformance, and regression testing on lab setups.
  • Triage test failures to distinguish between hardware faults, software bugs, and configuration issues.
  • Build, configure, and maintain lab test setups including equipment racking, cabling, and network configuration.
  • Develop and maintain Python or Shell scripts to automate repetitive test procedures and configurations.
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and maintain test automation health.
  • Produce documented test reports and defect write-ups for engineering stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylumee.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field.
  • Solid understanding of 3GPP (LTE/5G NR) and O-RAN network architecture and interfaces.
  • Experience with lab test equipment including UE simulators, core network emulators, signal generators, and protocol analyzers.
  • Experience with debug/diagnostic tools such as QXDM for OTA log analysis.
  • Experience with scripting/automation (Python strongly preferred; familiarity with pytest or Robot Framework is a plus) (preferred).
  • Strong debugging skills across hardware, software, and network layers.
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
