TL;DR · Antenna & RF Front-End Engineer

The Antenna & RF Front-End Engineer 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. You will design, integrate, and characterize various antenna topologies, including phased arrays and reflectors, while owning RF performance from ADC to antenna radiation. Daily responsibilities include optimizing architectures, performing EM simulations, and conducting lab validation and over-the-air testing. You will utilize tools such as HFSS, CST, and AWR to simulate mutual coupling and beam-forming strategies. The role requires proficiency in Linux/Unix and programming languages like Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, or Rust to support CI/CD pipelines. You will solve complex RF link challenges for both space and ground segments to ensure reliable broadband connectivity.

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 and CST to simulate element and array performance.
  • Define and maintain antenna specifications and requirements at the module, aperture, and system levels.
  • Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns for active antennas using 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.

What we're looking for

  • Experience leading the design, automation, deployment, and support of large-scale infrastructure.
  • Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, or Rust.
  • Experience with Linux/Unix.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines build processes.
  • Experience with distributed systems at scale (preferred).
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum for export control compliance.
