DESCRIPTION
Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
The Design Verification Engineer will be a member of the Avionics team, focusing on the design verification of the various electrical functions of high-performance communication systems.
You will ensure proper data collection, reviews, and demonstrate the system requirement verification.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing Test SW (Python scripts) to test proprietary hardware. These scripts will interact with standard lab test equipment, execute automated functional checkout tests, analyze pass/fail criteria, and generate comprehensive test reports.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary avionics design team and work closely with PCBA design engineers, harness engineers, FPGA and embedded SW developers as well as system and integration engineers.
This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging opportunity to work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve.
Key job responsibilities
We are looking for an engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively.
Automated Functional Testing: Develop test sequences that can perform automated functional checkout tests on proprietary hardware to ensure reliability and performance.
Data Analysis: Implement algorithms to analyze test data, compare results against predefined pass/fail criteria, and provide insights into the hardware's performance.
Report Generation: Generate detailed test reports that summarize test results, including pass/fail status, and provide valuable information for the broader team.
In this role, you will conduct test readiness reviews and align with various stakeholders on data review activities
Expect to work with a team of top-notch engineers and influence overall test strategy by helping define system test requirements
You should be comfortable with a high degree of autonomy and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before.
You are expected to maintain requirements traceability during testing and solve integration and test problems in real time.

Verification Engineer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a verification engineer in Washington?
Most verification engineers in Washington enter the field with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, followed by hands-on verification experience gained through internships or entry roles. Washington does not require a state-issued license for this role, but many positions at defense and aerospace employers require candidates to be eligible for a federal security clearance. Strong candidates typically build skills in SystemVerilog and UVM through coursework or self-study before applying.
Which companies hire verification engineers in Washington?
Employers hiring verification engineers in Washington right now include Blue Origin, Microsoft, and K2 Space, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Washington's density of aerospace, semiconductor, and enterprise technology companies makes it one of the more active states for this specialty nationwide.
Which Washington cities have the most verification engineer jobs?
Seattle, Redmond, and SeaTac have the most verification engineer openings in Washington. Seattle and its eastside suburbs of Redmond and Bellevue drive the largest share of postings, anchored by Microsoft's hardware and silicon divisions, Boeing's commercial and defense programs, and a growing cluster of chip-design startups, while smaller hubs like Everett reflect Boeing's manufacturing and avionics verification teams.
Are there remote verification engineer jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused roles, since verification engineering often requires direct access to lab equipment, hardware test benches, and simulation infrastructure. About 57% of verification engineer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of much of the work. The portions of the role most likely to be done remotely include test-plan authoring, coverage analysis, and simulation-based regression runs.
How can I get hired as a verification engineer in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or co-op with one of Washington's large aerospace or semiconductor employers, where many candidates convert to full-time roles after graduation. Boeing, Microsoft, and Intel all run structured internship and new-grad programs in their hardware verification and silicon validation groups. Candidates from adjacent roles such as software QA engineer, FPGA design intern, or embedded systems tester are competitive, and building a portfolio of UVM or SystemVerilog projects through open-source or academic work strengthens applications significantly.
Where can I find and apply to verification engineer jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to verification engineer jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across aerospace, semiconductor, defense, and enterprise technology employers.
