Sr System Engineer, Amazon Leo for Government (ALG), SEIT | MFG

Amazon Leo is an initiative within Amazon that aims to revolutionize global connectivity through the development of a state‑of‑the‑art Low Earth Orbit (LEO) interconnected satellite communication constellation. Our mission is to bridge the digital divide by delivering high‑speed, low‑latency internet services to underserved and remote communities around the world. By leveraging satellite technology, we are working toward a future where everyone has access to reliable and high‑quality internet connectivity regardless of their location.

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, collaborating closely with Amazon Leo to leverage the constellation of advanced satellites for seamless and efficient communication capabilities.

The Senior System Engineer will engage with an experienced cross‑disciplinary team to design, integrate, and test innovative product solutions. The role includes architecture development, requirements definition and derivation, interface development, integration, test, verification, and validation of satellite bus, RF payloads, optical payloads, custom ground terminals, or custom user terminals. Responsibilities also involve testing, analyzing, and optimizing the specific space segment and satellite subsystems or ground segment and terminals being developed to meet customer and target application needs.

As part of the ALG Engineering Systems Engineering, Integration, Test, and Manufacturing organization, the Senior System Engineer must be responsive, flexible, innovative, and able to succeed within a collaborative, fast‑paced, and dynamic environment.

• Responsible for all aspects of space segment systems engineering, including preliminary concept development, trade studies, CONOPS definition, requirements decomposition and allocation, interface requirements definition, requirements verification and validation, support to integration and test operations, anomaly resolution, risk management, and schedule execution.
• Collaborate with technical program management and product management leadership to ensure successful program execution.
• Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop, and verify space segment products.
• Deep‑dive into satellite subsystems functions and interfaces to develop integrated satellite system designs and solutions.
• Coordinate and communicate with subsystem cross‑functional engineering teams to ensure system execution.
• Participate in software‑to‑hardware integration and test activities to ensure mission functionality pre‑ and post‑launch operations.
• Perform technical data analysis, verify, and maintain systems configurations in accordance with defined constraints and operational requirements.
• Perform analyses to optimize the satellite system and/or system architecture.
• Resolve cross‑functional technical issues using facts and data to determine the optimal technical approach.
• Develop and improve systems engineering processes and rigor.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, or equivalent.
• 8+ years of experience in space systems engineering principles and techniques; power, mass, and other technical performance budgets; requirements analysis and flow‑down; design verification and validation processes; configuration management; satellite‑level integration and test processes.
• 8+ years of experience in spacecraft systems engineering, spacecraft design, or a related field, with hands‑on experience in satellite design and integration.
• 8+ years of experience with the derivation and maintenance of requirements from a system level down to lower levels.
• 8+ years of experience developing system‑level budgets (power, Δv, pointing, link, etc.) and tracking the budget throughout the development lifecycle.
• Hands‑on…
