Senior ATE Security Engineer, Amazon Leo Silicon Team

Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low‑latency, high‑speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

The Role

As a Senior ATE Security Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross‑disciplinary staff to deliver secure, high‑quality custom silicon powering the Leo network. This role has two focuses: device security and provisioning during test, and the development of reusable ATE library and automation software that accelerates test development across the team.

You will own secure device provisioning and security algorithm test on Advantest 93K and/or Teradyne UltraFLEX platforms, including secure key and identity injection, OTP/eFuse programming, and fuse‑based lifecycle management. You will also design and build reusable, well‑architected library code and tooling, such as pattern search utilities, automated sub‑flow generation, and auto‑generation of test programs from patterns, that improve the productivity, consistency, and quality of the entire test engineering team.

You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open, collaborative peer environment, and you will influence design, DFT, security, and manufacturing teams to ensure our products are architected for security, testability, and cost‑effective high‑volume manufacturing.

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.

Key job responsibilities

• Own device security and secure provisioning during test, including secure boot, secure key and identity injection, cryptographic provisioning, fuse‑based configuration and lifecycle management, and debug‑port lockdown.
• Develop, own, and qualify OTP/eFuse programming flows, addressing challenges such as programming margin, read‑back verification, repeatability, and the irreversible nature of fuse operations across process, voltage, and temperature.
• Integrate ATE flows with secure provisioning systems, HSMs, or key‑management infrastructure.
• Develop and validate JTAG and debug‑access flows on post‑provisioned units to enable debug of RMA returns and downstream quality issues, while preserving device security posture.
• Design, build, and maintain reusable ATE library code and tooling that accelerates test development across the team.
• Develop utilities for pattern search and analysis, automated sub‑flow generation, and auto‑generation of test programs from patterns.
• Architect libraries and frameworks for reusability, maintainability, and scale, applying strong software engineering practices (modular design, version control, code review, and testing).
• Run firmware on DUTs to enable secure provisioning, self‑test, and reduced test time.
• Partner with ASIC design, DFT, security, and firmware teams to ensure devices meet Amazon standards for secure provisioning, design‑for‑test, and design‑for‑manufacturability.
• Actively identify security, test‑readiness, and software gaps throughout the product lifecycle and drive them to resolution.
• Lead technical and security reviews and set software and security best practices for the team.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience
• 7+ years of experience in silicon test, security engineering, or test software development.
• Experience with device security and secure provisioning during test, including OTP/eFuse programming.
• Working knowledge of the fundamentals of encryption, cryptographic keys, and secure communication channels.
• Strong software…
