Satellite Systems I&T Engineer, Space Networking Solutions joins the Amazon Leo for Government engineering team to develop complex satellite systems for government and international customers. This role involves designing, integrating, and verifying hardware such as satellite buses, RF payloads, optical payloads, and custom ground or user terminals. The engineer will build test architectures, develop test procedures, create scripts, and design automation for system-on-chip calibration and environmental testing. Key responsibilities include managing test anomalies, analyzing performance data, and developing support equipment to ensure requirements verification. Candidates must possess expertise in space systems design and integration across the development lifecycle. Required technical skills include proficiency in Matlab, LabVIEW, Python, Docker, and Rust on Linux platforms. The role addresses the challenge of providing scalable, high-speed communication capabilities through a Low Earth Orbit interconnected satellite constellation for diverse terrestrial applications.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute the design, build, and validation of test systems for complex satellite subsystems.
  • Create end-to-end integration and test plans to validate performance against customer and partner requirements.
  • Develop test algorithms, scripts, and calibration routines for lab and field evaluations of integrated hardware.
  • Architect and validate mechanical, optical, and electrical support equipment to enable test execution.
  • Analyze system test data to provide proactive feedback on product performance and potential improvements.
  • Manage the tracking and resolution of test anomalies, defects, and bugs in a production environment.
  • Prepare detailed reports documenting test results, coverage, and key performance indicator metrics.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in space vehicle, bus, RF payload, or optical payload integration and test.
  • 5+ years of experience developing space or communication system test requirements, plans, and procedures for verification and validation.
  • 4+ years of experience developing code in Matlab, LabVIEW, Python, Docker, and Rust on Linux platforms.
  • Experience testing satellite communications payloads, optical communications payload, spacecraft bus, or constituent subsystems.
  • Familiarity with integration and test of satellite communications, ground terminals, or DoD networks (preferred).
  • Proficiency with software development and hardware integration related to satellite payloads or ground systems (preferred).
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience (preferred).
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen capable of obtaining and maintaining a TS/SCI security clearance.
