Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. Innovation is part of our DNA! Our goal is to be Earth's most customer centric company, and we are just getting started. We need people who want to join an ambitious program that continues to push the state of the art in space based systems design. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before. Along the way, we guarantee that you will learn a lot, have fun and make a positive impact on tens of millions of people. In this role, you will: • Architect and build software to automate hardware test systems • Develop software infrastructure to support test case execution • Architect and build automation to support development (CI/CD) • Align with various stakeholders on software requirements • Document software requirements from users • Support manufacturing as well as new product development • Enable automated data collection, data analysis • Deliver end-user documents • Own and execute software quality and release process • Work with electrical test equipment A day in the life This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and hardware validation. You don't need to be an RF engineer, but you should be comfortable reading a datasheet, understanding what a pass/fail threshold means physically, and asking hardware engineers the right questions to translate their intent into automated test logic. You spend most of your day writing Python that tests satellite hardware before it goes to space. Some days that's building a new test case to catch a failure mode we saw on-orbit. Other days it's debugging why a production rack isn't reporting telemetry correctly, or designing the automation that lets a factory operator run 12 units through environmental stress testing with a single click. You'll work closely with RF and hardware engineers who define what "good" looks like for a given component -- then you figure out how to measure it reliably, repeatedly, at production scale. Your code runs on Linux test racks in our manufacturing facilities, talks to instruments over SCPI, controls thermal chambers, and reports results to dashboards that drive ship/no-ship decisions. About the team This Satellite RF Test SW Dev Engineer will have the opportunity to be a member of the Satellite RF Hardware Design Team working within the wider Amazon Leo RF and Modem team. This highly collaborative group of engineers has a diverse range of backgrounds and knowledge and looking for help to build a scalable and reliable test automation solution for 1st and 2nd gen Leo satellites. The team supports design validation test, space qualification test, and production test of spacecraft gigabit speed modems, millimeter-wave amplifiers, frequency converters and LNAs. They like to leverage and share work across the entire organization as well as utilize AWS resources and tools to accelerate their work.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
