TL;DR · Senior Avionics Hardware Test Engineer

Sr. Avionics Hardware Test Engineer, Amazon Leo serves as a critical engineering liaison between production, test, and design teams to ensure the reliability of avionics systems for a low Earth orbit satellite network. The role involves triaging hardware issues in real time, optimizing manufacturing test flows, and leading MRB activities for PCBA and subsystem-level hardware. You will develop troubleshooting guides, manage nonconformance corrective actions, and improve test architecture to reduce cycle times. Key responsibilities include diagnosing test setups and developing KPI reporting tools for yield trends and equipment performance. Required skills include experience in root cause analysis, hardware bring-up, and using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, SMUs, and DMMs. Preferred technical competencies include Python, MATLAB, and statistical process control to solve complex manufacturing challenges within the space hardware domain.

What you'll do

  • Serve as the primary liaison between production, test, and design teams to resolve hardware issues in real time.
  • Optimize manufacturing test flows for avionics systems to improve measurement quality, efficiency, and throughput.
  • Review and approve manufacturing processes and work instructions for assembly and testing of avionics hardware.
  • Lead MRB activities and root cause corrective actions (RCCA) for PCBA and subsystem-level nonconformances.
  • Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair test setups for avionics systems in production environments.
  • Develop and maintain manufacturing KPI reporting tools to track yield trends, cycle times, and equipment performance.
  • Create training materials, troubleshooting guides, and improved work instructions to reduce support burdens.
  • Partner with engineering teams to improve test architecture and reduce cycle times while ensuring high-quality data capture.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or an equivalent field.
  • 5+ years of experience in design, test, or manufacturing engineering roles supporting electronic hardware products.
  • Experience developing or supporting manufacturing test flows and automation within space, automotive, industrial, or consumer electronics industries.
  • Experience performing root cause analysis on electronic assemblies including component-level and system-level debugging.
  • 7+ years of experience in design, test, or manufacturing engineering roles across the product lifecycle.
  • Experience leading hardware debug involving hardware design, firmware, and production teams.
  • Proficiency with tools like Python or MATLAB for data analysis, yield improvements, and test automation.
