The Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Engineering organization is a multi-disciplinary technology team established to rapidly address the needs of targeted government and international customers with specific solutions that have the potential to scale. ALG Engineering leads the development and delivery of targeted and scalable solutions for custom space and terrestrial applications. ALG collaborates closely with Amazon Leo to leverage the constellation of advanced satellites to provide seamless and efficient communication capabilities to meet the needs of our customers.

The ALG Engineering team is seeking highly technical and talented individuals who are passionate about creating unique solutions that result in a positive impact on a global scale.
The System Integration & Test (I&T) Engineer will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to design, integrate, and test innovative product solutions. The System I&T Engineer will work closely with colleagues throughout Amazon Leo's inter-disciplinary team and collaborate with key partners and suppliers to ensure our system exceeds customer expectations. The System I&T Engineer must be responsive, flexible, innovative, and able to succeed within a collaborative, fast-paced, and dynamic environment

As a member of the ALG Engineering Systems Engineering, Integration, Test, and Manufacturing organization, the System I&T Engineer will be responsible for developing the architecture and executing the design, build, and validation of test systems for complex systems and subsystems. The candidate will have the capabilities to develop test procedures, test software, test scripts, APIs, and automation to enable test and verification at various products levels including but not limited to system-on-chip (SoC) calibration algorithm verification, test automation and data analysis for electronics, opto-mechanical/opto-electrical subsystems, and system level tests including environmental tests. The candidate will be responsible for ensuring the test architecture supports all aspects of the integration, test, verification, and validation of one or more of the following: the satellite bus, RF payloads, optical payloads, custom ground terminals, or custom user terminals.

This includes testing, analyzing, and optimizing the test support equipment to the particular satellite or ground element being developed. Testing efforts include functional and performance testing through various environmental conditions as required and it will be the candidate's responsibility to ensure the test systems enable efficient test execution and requirements verification.
The ideal candidate has a strong technical background in space and ground systems design, integration, and verification across the development lifecycle.

This candidate should enjoy taking ownership over complex problems and delivering well-executed results of high-quality and can work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment that provides significant autonomy to be creative in devising and verifying various engineering approaches to meet technical and programmatic requirements.
Key job responsibilities
