Sr. Test Process Engineer, Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

In this role, you will work with a team of engineers responsible for improving and standardizing PCB test processes used on the shop floor, ensuring scalable deployment across contract manufacturing partners and Leo factory locations. You will drive initiatives to increase first-pass yield, reduce false failures, and eliminate operator-driven defects through root cause analysis of software, infrastructure, and process-related issues. You will work across the organization with software, hardware, and manufacturing and supply chain teams to identify process gaps, prioritize yield improvement efforts, and implement corrective actions, while providing regular updates to stakeholders.

Working closely with CM site and factory representatives, you will provide actionable design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for testability (DFT) recommendations to improve overall line performance.

• Lead and conduct test process analyses across PCBA test workflows to identify failure modes, evaluate improvement alternatives, and optimize yield and throughput
• Drive improvements for test systems, balancing performance, schedule, cost, risk, and scalability requirements
• Collaborate with test software teams to investigate and resolve software and infrastructure driven test failures, process gaps, and execution inefficiencies, ensuring test software behavior aligns with manufacturing process requirements
• Derive and synthesize requirements for test process efficiency, operational excellence, and operator usability across the manufacturing test infrastructure
• Analyze first-pass yield data to identify trends, prioritize improvement efforts, and track corrective action effectiveness
• Partner with CM site and factory representatives to review test processes, identify gaps, and drive standardization across manufacturing locations

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience
• Experience in analyzing data to drive decisions
• Experience participating in or leading technical collaborations and creating alignment across diverse groups (e.g., hardware engineering, software engineering, program management)
• 3+ years of professional experience in manufacturing test, test process engineering, or automated test equipment (ATE)
• Hands-on experience with PCBA provisioning and functional test processes
• Experience with embedded system test rack configuration, integration, and optimization
• Knowledge of hardware/software integration and validation processes

• Working knowledge of Linux and Windows operating systems and Networking in a manufacturing test or embedded systems environment
• Proven track record of implementing process improvements in electronics manufacturing environments, including application of methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, or 8D corrective action processes
• Familiarity with standards for PCBA manufacturing and test, such as IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies)
• Familiarity with aerospace PCB and electronics standards, such as AS9100 (Aerospace Quality Management Systems)
• Knowledge of ISO 9001 Quality Management System principles and experience working within an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing environment, including document control, corrective action, and continuous improvement processes
• Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python or Rust, with preference for experience in test automation
• Experience with National Instruments (NI) Test Stand test management software for developing, deploying, and maintaining automated test sequences in a manufacturing environment
• Experience working with contract manufacturers (CMs), including process audits, yield reviews, and driving standardization across multiple…
