Full Job Description
Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network delivering fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. Behind every satellite in our constellation is a payload - the communication system that makes connectivity possible. Before a single satellite reaches orbit, its payload software must be validated, stressed, and proven through rigorous automated testing. We are hiring a Senior Software Development Engineer to lead the design and development of automation that validates payload software at scale. You will work at the intersection of satellite communication systems and software engineering, architecting frameworks that test how payload software manages signal routing, beam forming, frequency coordination, and network handoffs. This is not black-box button-pushing—you will develop deep expertise in how payload software operates, then drive the technical strategy for automated test systems that catch defects before they reach orbit. Our team builds the regression-testing automation that runs continuously as payload software evolves. Every code change, every configuration update, every firmware revision passes through the systems you architect. Your technical decisions directly gate satellite production and launch readiness. What Makes This Role Different You will not just write test scripts. You will understand what the payload software does—how it manages links, allocates capacity, handles interference, and recovers from faults—and use that understanding to architect automation that validates behavior across thousands of scenarios no human could execute manually. You will own the technical vision for how we scale regression testing as the constellation grows, and you will make the architectural decisions that determine whether we can sustain production velocity without sacrificing quality. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or nation
