TL;DR · Antenna & RF Engineer, Amazon Leo Antenna Development

The Antenna & RF Engineer, Amazon Leo Antenna Development joins the hardware development team to support the design, test, and integration of antenna and RF front-end systems. This role involves owning end-to-end RF performance from ADC to antenna radiation for space and ground segments. Key responsibilities include designing and optimizing antenna architectures like phased arrays and reflectors, performing EM simulations, and conducting lab validation. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system strategies for beam equalization and phase error mitigation. Required technical skills include proficiency in MATLAB or Python and experience with simulation tools such as HFSS or CST. The work focuses on solving technical challenges in high-volume antenna design, including prototype bring-up, chamber testing, and providing DFM and DFT feedback for antenna modules.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize antenna and array architectures including element selection, lattice, and beam-forming strategies.
  • Own end-to-end RF performance from ADC/DAC through the RF 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 antenna specifications at the module, aperture, and system levels.
  • Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns including chamber and over-the-air validation.
  • 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 cross-functional partners.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent.
  • Ph.D. degree in antenna, EM and related fields (preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience in antenna design, RF system design, or front end design.
  • Experience in MATLAB or Python.
  • Experience with mainstream antenna simulation tools such as CST or HFSS.
  • Experience in high-volume manufacturing environments (preferred).
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
