Resumo da oferta

Amazon Leo is seeking a Senior Aerospace Hardware Engineer to join the avionics hardware team, owning end-to-end delivery of satellite hardware from architecture through production ramp. You will lead system and subsystem architecture, drive circuit design, and oversee design reviews and verification strategies.

You will guide bring-up, validation, and integration, ensuring robust, high-reliability hardware while mentoring engineers and shaping requirements and verification frameworks for power,

Qualificações

• Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans and functional test procedures.
• 5+ years of hardware development across the full product lifecycle (concept through production at scale).
• Experience with PCB design and debug, including processors, FPGAs, power supplies, and sensors.
• Experience with complex board designs (e.g., high-speed interfaces, power electronics, or high-reliability systems).
• Experience using ECAD tools for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Experience driving hardware through bring-up, validation, and integration.
• Master's degree preferred; additional aerospace/high-reliability background a plus.
• 7+ years in aerospace, automotive, or similar high-reliability environments.
• Experience with satellite, avionics, or vehicle control systems.
• Radiation-tolerant design or qualification for harsh environments.
• Experience developing test systems or automation (e.g., Python, C/C++).
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or similar system-level test methodologies.
• Low-level firmware development and hardware/software integration.

Responsabilidades

• Own end-to-end delivery of satellite avionics subsystems, from architecture and requirements through production ramp, in partnership with peer engineers.
• Lead system and subsystem architecture, translating mission requirements into manufacturable hardware designs.
• Drive circuit design, analysis, and ECAD schematic capture to meet performance and reliability targets.
• Lead hardware design reviews (architecture, schematic, PCB layout) and set the technical bar for design quality.
• Develop and execute bring-up, verification, and qualification test strategies.
• Lead debugging and root cause resolution across development, qualification, and production, working closely with design and test engineers.
• Establish requirements, traceability, and verification frameworks for hardware subsystems.
• Lead production readiness and ramp, including test strategy, yield improvement, and issue resolution.
• Influence cross-functional teams (systems, firmware, manufacturing, test, suppliers) to deliver program milestones.
• Act as a technical leader, raising engineering standards and developing other engineers.
