The Sr. Network Development Engineer joins the Satellite Systems Integration and Test team to validate the complete communications path for the Amazon Leo satellite constellation. This role involves leading hands-on integration and testing of satellite communications and ground-network capabilities, including the satellite payload, ground gateways, customer terminals, and cloud services. You will develop test campaigns, troubleshoot complex failures using packet captures and logs, and reproduce operational issues in a lab environment. Key technologies include Linux networking utilities like tcpdump, Wireshark, and iperf, alongside Python for test automation. You will analyze RF link behavior, MAC behavior, Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking, and transport protocols. The work focuses on solving end-to-end performance issues, latency, and throughput degradation across a complex satellite and terrestrial network infrastructure.
Lead end-to-end integration and validation of satellite communications across payloads, gateways, terminals, and cloud services.
Develop and execute test campaigns to evaluate functionality, performance, reliability, scale, and failure recovery.
Translate product requirements into detailed test plans, use cases, success criteria, and verification matrices.
Build new test configurations by integrating hardware, RF equipment, network infrastructure, and cloud services.
Troubleshoot complex system issues using packet captures, system logs, telemetry, and RF measurements.
Analyze behavior across the communications stack, including RF link conditions, MAC, Layer 2/3 networking, and transport protocols.
Automate test execution, data collection, and performance reporting using Python or similar programming languages.
Reproduce functional and performance issues observed during satellite operations within a controlled lab environment.
What we're looking for
Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylumee.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience.
10+ years of experience in satellite communications, cellular systems, wireless systems, modem validation, network integration, or end-to-end communications testing.
Experience troubleshooting complex systems using packet captures, system logs, performance counters, and telemetry.
Experience with Linux and network troubleshooting tools such as tcpdump, Wireshark, ping, traceroute, iperf, and standard Linux networking utilities.
Knowledge of IP networking, including TCP/UDP behavior, routing, VLANs, IP addressing, MTU, packet loss, latency, and throughput analysis.
Experience integrating and testing systems that combine hardware, software, networking, RF components, and external test equipment.
