TL;DR · Antenna & RF Front-End Engineer

As an Antenna & RF Front-End Engineer at Amazon Leo, you will join a team responsible for the full lifecycle of LEO antenna systems from concept to product release. Your role involves designing and optimizing antenna architectures, ensuring end-to-end RF performance, and collaborating with various engineering teams to define system strategies and measure performance. You will use EM and RF design tools like HFSS, CST, AWR, and others to simulate and validate designs, while also supporting prototype builds and test campaigns. Additionally, you will provide feedback for manufacturing and testing processes, write technical reports, and present findings to leadership. This role requires expertise in Linux/Unix environments and familiarity with AWS tools, as you work on high-volume antenna design from concept through deployment, contributing to the development of one of the most advanced communication systems ever built.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize antenna architectures to meet RF system goals.
  • Simulate element/array performance using EM and RF design tools.
  • Define and maintain antenna specifications at various levels.
  • Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns for active antennas.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system strategies and measure performance.
  • Provide DFM and DFT feedback for antenna boards and modules.
  • Write design reports and present results to leadership and partners.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in designing and optimizing antenna architectures to meet RF system goals.
  • Proficiency with EM and RF design tools such as HFSS, CST, AWR for simulation and analysis.
  • Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams including calibration, software, and validation.
  • Ability to define and maintain detailed specifications at module, aperture, and system levels.
  • Hands-on experience in prototype builds, testing, and over-the-air validations of active antennas.
  • Expertise in providing DFM/DFT feedback for antenna boards and modules during manufacturing phases.
