TL;DR · Antenna & RF Engineer

As an Antenna & RF Engineer for Amazon Leo, you will join the hardware development team to design, integrate, and characterize antennas and arrays across multiple domains, including phased arrays, reflectors, and aperture antennas. Your daily responsibilities involve designing and optimizing antenna architectures, selecting elements, and developing feeding networks and beam-forming strategies to meet specific RF system goals. You will utilize EM and RF design tools such as HFSS, CST, and AWR to simulate performance, mutual coupling, and scan loss. Additionally, you will support prototype builds, conduct chamber testing, and provide DFM and DFT feedback. You must develop and deploy code to support testing and validation. This role focuses on high-volume antenna design for a low Earth orbit satellite constellation to provide global broadband access.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize antenna and array architectures including element selection and beam-forming strategies.
  • Use EM and RF design tools to simulate element performance, mutual coupling, and scan loss.
  • Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns for active antennas.
  • Conduct chamber testing and over-the-air validation for antenna systems.
  • Provide DFM and DFT feedback for antenna boards, modules, and test fixtures.
  • Develop and deploy code to support testing, simulation, and validation of antenna systems.
  • Write design reports and test summaries to present results to leadership and partners.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • Coursework in RF and electromagnetics.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent (preferred).
  • 1-2 years of internship or professional experience in RF and/or electromagnetics (preferred).
  • Experience designing and optimizing antenna and array architectures including phased arrays and reflectors.
  • Proficiency using EM and RF design tools such as HFSS, CST, or AWR.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Export Control Requirement.
