Space Systems I&T Engineer — Software & Automation

Amazon; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 144,000 - 194,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Engineering seeks a Software I&T Engineer to design, develop, and own software tooling and frameworks for integration testing of space and terrestrial systems. You will lead lab automation platforms, CI/CD integrated tooling, and data visualization to accelerate verification of complex hardware/software integrations.

You will collaborate with hardware and software teams, mentor engineers, and help shape tooling strategies while ensuring robust, scalable test

Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience on systems.
• 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience.
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Own the design, development, and long-term health of test automation frameworks, orchestration platforms, and CI/CD-integrated tooling consumed by I&T engineers and subsystem teams in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and system lab environments
• Architect, design, and validate software tooling — including test algorithms, scripts, calibration routines, and data visualization — required for verification and validation of complex hardware systems
• Define and drive tooling best practices across the lab engineering organization, establishing patterns for automation, observability, and infrastructure-as-code that raise the bar for the broader team
• Analyze test data and engage cross-functionally with teammates, partners, suppliers, and customers to evaluate product performance and provide proactive feedback on potential improvements
• Prepare reports documenting test results, test coverage, performance metrics, and other KPIs; communicate issues effectively with developers and managers
• Manage and drive to closure test anomalies, defects, and bugs; debug, root-cause, and make continuous improvements to control systems in a high-rate production environment
• Operate independently to identify gaps in test infrastructure, propose solutions, and drive implementation with minimal direction — making pragmatic tradeoffs between speed and long-term maintainability
• Mentor junior engineers on software development practices, code quality, and test automation design patterns
• Collaborate with systems engineers, hardware teams, and external partners to ensure tooling supports all phases of integration, test, verification, and validation across satellite and ground element campaigns
