Software I&T Engineer , Leo Government

Overview

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 towards a future where everyone has access to reliable and high‑quality internet connectivity regardless of their location.

• Create test algorithms, test scripts, automation, data visualizations and calibration routines for test systems.
• Analyze software test data and engage with cross‑functional teammates, partners, suppliers, or customers to evaluate product performance and provide proactive feedback on potential improvements.
• Architect, design, and validate software tooling required for verification and validation of complex hardware systems.
• Prepare reports documenting test results, test coverage, performance results and other KPI metrics, and communicate issues effectively with developers and managers.
• Effectively manage and track to closure test anomalies, defects, and bugs; debug, root‑cause, and make continuous improvements of control systems in a high‑rate production environment.

Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Engineering is a multi‑disciplinary technology team established to rapidly address the needs of targeted customers with specific solutions that have the potential to scale. These solutions are tailored to meet the needs of government and international customers for both space‑based and terrestrial applications. The Integrated Engineering Solutions organization under ALG Engineering plays a vital role in the entire life cycle of the development of an engineering solution, including architecture development, requirements and interface definition through assembly, integration, and test (AI&T), verification, and post‑delivery and operational support.
