OSS Test & Automation Engineer

AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected. Position Overview We are seeking an OSS Test & Automation Engineer to join the team responsible for developing our core network platform – OSS.

In this role, you will act as the primary owner of OSS workflow automation development and test engineering. Your primary focus will be to build, test, document and maintain automation processes executed within the OSS platform - covering network operations, service assurance, reporting, and partner integration workflows. At the same time, you will own the test strategy and quality assurance practices that validate and verify those autonomous processes and workflows.

You are not a pure QA resource; you are an automation engineer who designs solutions and ensures their correctness through robust validation and testing practices.
