TL;DR · Antenna & RF Engineer

As an Antenna & RF Engineer at Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC in the Hardware Development team, you will design and optimize antenna architectures to meet high-performance RF system goals for both space and ground segments. Your day-to-day responsibilities include using EM and RF design tools like HFSS or CST to simulate performance characteristics, collaborating with cross-functional teams such as calibration and validation to define system strategies, and supporting prototype builds and testing. You will also provide DFM/DFT feedback and write technical reports. The role requires strong skills in Matlab, Python, or C++, along with experience in antenna simulation tools and RF systems. This position involves working on large-scale projects that demand expertise in phased arrays and active RF circuits, contributing to the development of cutting-edge satellite communication technology.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize antenna architectures to meet RF system goals.
  • Own end-to-end RF performance from ADC/DAC through the RF front-end to antennas.
  • Simulate element/array performance using EM and RF design tools like HFSS or CST.
  • Collaborate with calibration teams to define array calibration strategies and measure performance.
  • Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns for active antennas.
  • Provide DFM and DFT feedback for antenna boards and modules.
  • Write design reports and present results to leadership and cross-functional partners.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in antenna design and development.
  • BS degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • Fluency in Matlab, Python, or C++.
  • Proficiency with mainstream antenna simulation tools (CST, HFSS).
  • Strong foundations in RF Systems and active RF circuits design.
