Software System I&T Manager, ALG SEIT | MFG Security Clearance

Position: Software System I&T Manager, ALG SEIT | MFG with Security Clearance
Description 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 unserved communities and remote communities around the world. By leveraging innovative satellite technology, we are working towards 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. ALG collaborates closely with Amazon Leo to leverage the constellation of advance 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. As part of ALG, this role offers the opportunity to shape the future of secure space-based connectivity and contribute to high-stakes, mission-critical programs with real-world impact. As a Software Development Manager for Software Integration & Test (I&T), you will lead a team responsible for the software infrastructure and tooling that integrates satellite and ground systems into a cohesive, mission-ready capability.

Unlike roles focused on isolated subsystems, this position requires end-to-end systems thinking-spanning requirements flow-down, interface design, integration architecture, testing, and deployment automation. You'll work in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, tackling complex challenges in connecting satellite communications subsystems s role requires expertise in building integration frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and automation infrastructure, with proficiency in Python and C++. You'll collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, security, systems, and product teams to ensure all components work together reliably for government customers.

If you're driven by technical excellence, leadership, and the opportunity to build the integration infrastructure for next-generation secure communication systems, we'd love to hear from you. This role is based in El Segundo, CA or Northridge, CA, with U.S. relocation benefits available. Due to hardware integration requirements, onsite work is required five days a week. The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience working on large-scale programs with a diverse set of talented individuals, as well as with partner organizations (including government agencies).
