Network Infrastructure Engineer, Satellite HW Test Automation, LEO Antenna Test Infrastructure

Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon LEO will help close the digital divide by delivering fast affordable broadband to a wide range of customers including consumers businesses government agencies and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

The Antenna Test Infrastructure team provides the test systems and techniques to verify Payload Customer Terminal and full satellite vehicle hardware integrates the test automation and connects the dots between Responsible Engineers and their products test metrics. The team is a pivotal point for a multitude of other teams and orgs our internal customers. And its highly multidisciplinary: SysDE SDE ME Metrology Robotics Antenna FPGA and Lab Ops all converge in the same room.

This role is part of a 58 engineer team composed of Network Infrastructure Systems Development and Software Development engineers who together will build the end-to-end automated test infrastructure for our D2D phased array products from physical rack buildout through cloud-connected CI/CD pipelines.

Key job responsibilities
- Design end-to-end test rack and chamber environments for D2D phased array hardware including power distribution cooling structured cabling compute nodes and network connectivity

- Design the CI/CD integration layer that receives firmware/software build artifacts provisions them onto a pool of HITL test resources and triggers automated validation campaigns

- Define and implement the test orchestration control plane: scheduling DUT allocation firmware flashing test execution and result collection across distributed rack infrastructure

- Build automated closed-loop workflows that detect functional regressions performance degradation or RF anomalies and automatically generate SIM tickets with relevant logs metrics and reproduction steps

- Establish integration between on-premises test infrastructure and AWS services (EC2 S3 DynamoDB IoT Core CloudWatch) for test scheduling artifact storage dashboards and automated reporting

- Create standardized replicable rack configurations deployable across multiple lab sites with infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK CloudFormation or Terraform)

- Design OTA test-in-the-loop setups integrating anechoic/RF chambers with the HITL pipeline for radiated performance validation as part of the CI/CD flow

- Define power distribution UPS and environmental monitoring requirements; own capacity planning and procurement specifications

- Establish remote lights-out management capabilities (IPMI BMC serial consoles managed PDUs) enabling 24/7 unattended operation

- Collaborate with RF engineers firmware teams and test automation engineers to ensure infrastructure meets workflow requirements

- Document design decisions bills of materials and deployment guides

- 5 years of working in data centers or critical infrastructure experience
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines build processes
- 3 years of experience with AWS services (EC2 VPC S3 DynamoDB Lambda IoT Core CloudWatch)
- Experience designing test/measurement rack environments with instrumentation DUT connectivity and power distribution
- Experience with physical infrastructure: power budgets thermal management structured cabling 19 EIA rack standards
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code (CDK CloudFormation Terraform)
- Experience with taking a facility design from concept through commissioning

- Experience with RF measurement equipment including: power meters spectrum analyzers vector signal generators network analyzers oscilloscopes
- Experience managing lab resources equipment and supplies
- AWS certification such as AWS Solutions Architect or a similar cloud certification
- Experience with RF test environments: anechoic chambers shielded enclosures OTA test setups
- Knowledge of HITL test architectures firmware-in-the-loop or embedded device CI/CD pipelines
