- Amazon Leo is a long-term Amazon initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), providing low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. As a Hardware Development Engineer, you will design next-generation phased array antenna systems that enable our satellite constellation. You'll own key hardware blocks end-to-end from architecture and prototyping, to validation. You will work alongside antenna, systems
- software engineers to build antennas that have to work flawlessly once they reach orbit. 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)
- lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities - Architect and design key blocks within next-generation phased array antenna systems - Partner with RF engineers to develop the RF circuitry and signal chains that drive our phased arrays - Build and test proof-of-concept prototypes to validate new antenna architectures before committing to production designs - Review PCB layout to ensure designs are both high-performing and manufacturable at scale - Use Linux-based tools to command and operate the phased array during bring-up, integration
- test - Define test strategies for new designs, working with test engineering to translate design intent into bring-up plans and validation criteria - Verify designs meet performance targets, then iterate based on results - Collaborate with RF, software
- systems engineers to integrate new hardware into the broader antenna system - Partner with supply chain and production teams to prepare new designs for high-volume manufacturing - Drive design trade-offs across performance, cost, schedule
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering
