TL;DR · Senior RF Test Systems Development Engineer, Avionics Verification and Test

As a Senior RF Test Systems Development Engineer at Amazon Leo's Avionics Verification and Test team, you will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of complex RF test systems for spacecraft avionics and payload subsystems. This includes architecture design, development, integration, and post-delivery support. You will lead test planning by breaking down verification requirements into executable specifications and developing procedures while collaborating with electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust testing strategies. Key tasks involve designing high-throughput test hardware and fixtures, building quantitative models for reliability and coverage analysis, automating tests, and performing root cause analyses on failures. The role requires expertise in RF measurement equipment, scripting languages like Python or LabVIEW, and experience with established space hardware test standards. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment focused on scalable and reliable test automation solutions for satellite manufacturing.

What you'll do

  • Architect and design RF test systems for satellite avionics and payload units.
  • Develop detailed test procedures and lead readiness reviews for verification requirements.
  • Optimize test hardware, fixtures, and tooling to enhance throughput and yield.
  • Build quantitative models to guide design trade studies and process decisions.
  • Automate and optimize test processes to meet production rate targets efficiently.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with RF measurement equipment and complex aerospace system testing.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 5+ years of test systems development.
  • Design and integrate test systems for hardware validation, ensuring high fault coverage.
  • Scripting or programming experience in Python, MATLAB, C, or LabVIEW.
  • Work collaboratively across multiple technical disciplines in production environments.
