What this job asks for AI summary
A hardware verification role on the avionics team for a low Earth orbit satellite network, focused on PCB assembly design verification for high-performance communication systems. Day-to-day work involves writing and executing test plans, collecting and analyzing data, and validating power integrity, signal integrity, and high-speed interfaces across subsystem and system levels. The role suits an electrical engineer with hands-on board-level verification experience who is comfortable working across hardware, firmware, and systems teams.
Mid level · 3+ years · Seattle, WA · Bachelor's required · Full-time
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role is hardware-focused (PCB/PCBA design verification, avionics, signal integrity) rather than software QA; 15-1253 is the closest SOC for a test/verification engineer, but this role sits at the boundary of electrical/hardware engineering. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is listed as an alternative given the strong hardware-engineering character.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting. Amazon Leo (Project Kuiper) engineering is primarily based in the Seattle/Redmond, WA area; CBSA assigned accordingly.
Export control language requires US citizenship, permanent residency, or asylum/refugee status — this is not a formal security clearance gate, so clearance is set to None.
The Basic Qualifications list several parallel '3+ years' requirements covering different domains (board-level verification, test fixtures, lab equipment, power/signal design, high-speed interfaces). These are treated as a set of hard gates; the overall role-level minimum is 3 years.
Preferred Qualifications include space hardware test standards (GEVS / SMC-S-016), FPGAs, RF, IMUs, automated test systems, calibration procedures, and test automation tools (NI, dSPACE, Python, C/C++, LabVIEW) — all listed under the Preferred section.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): board-level design verification, test fixture development, switching power supply test/design, high-speed signal integrity verification, design verification planning.
