TL;DR · Antenna & RF Engineer

Antenna & RF Engineer, Amazon Leo joins the Amazon LEO team to support the development, test, and design of antenna and RF Front-End systems for a low Earth orbit satellite constellation. The role involves designing, integrating, and characterizing various antenna topologies, including phased arrays, reflectors, and aperture antennas. Key responsibilities include owning end-to-end RF performance from ADC to antenna radiation, optimizing beam-forming strategies, and providing DFM and DFT feedback for modules and test fixtures. The engineer will utilize EM and RF design tools such as HFSS, CST, and AWR, while employing Matlab, Python, or C++ to develop code for testing and simulation. This position addresses the technical challenge of delivering high-performance RF systems and links for both space and ground segments.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize antenna and array architectures including element selection, feeding networks, and beam-forming strategies.
  • Manage end-to-end RF performance from ADC/DAC through the front-end to antenna radiation.
  • Use EM and RF design tools like HFSS or CST to simulate element performance and mutual coupling.
  • Define and maintain technical specifications for antennas at the module, aperture, and system levels.
  • Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns including chamber testing and over-the-air validation.
  • Provide DFM and DFT feedback for antenna boards, modules, and test fixtures.
  • Develop and deploy code to support the simulation and validation of antenna systems.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent is preferred.
  • 3+ years of experience in research and/or development in antenna design.
  • 1+ year of design experience with RF building blocks such as filters, hybrids, and combiners.
  • Proficiency in Matlab, Python, or C++.
  • Experience with mainstream antenna simulation tools like CST or HFSS.
  • U.S. citizen or national, U.
