The Software Integration & Test (I&T) Engineer will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to design, develop, and own software tooling and frameworks that enable integration testing within system lab environments for space-based and terrestrial applications. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and systems verification - you will define how teams test, not just what they test.
Working within Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Engineering Integrated Systems Solutions, you will architect and deliver reusable test platforms, automation frameworks, and lab infrastructure software that accelerate verification of complex integrated hardware and software systems. You will serve as the technical owner of lab tooling strategy, driving decisions on architecture, interfaces, and developer experience while collaborating across inter-disciplinary teams, partners, and suppliers.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience working on complex Hardware/Software systems with a diverse set of talented individuals, as well as with partner organizations.
Security Clearance: This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance of TS/SCI.

Key job 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
