As a Communications Engineer in Modeling and Simulation at Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC, you will join the team responsible for defining the communication system architecture of Amazon Leo’s broadband wireless network. Your primary responsibilities include developing high-level resource allocation techniques to optimize system performance, evaluating complex multi-disciplinary trades involving RF bandwidth and network resources, and designing algorithms to enhance dynamic network topology efficiency. You will work with MATLAB extensively to create simulation models and collaborate closely with operational teams to implement improvements. Key skills required are a Master’s degree in computer science or electrical engineering, 5+ years of experience in satellite system design, and proficiency in Matlab. Familiarity with satellite constellation management and RF communication systems is preferred. This role offers the opportunity to innovate within a rapidly growing space technology domain.

What you'll do

  • Develop and analyze high-level system resource allocation techniques for optimal network performance.
  • Design interconnection strategies between fronthaul and backhaul nodes to optimize link availability.
  • Conduct trade-off analysis to optimize resources such as costs, power, and spectrum.
  • Use RF and optical link budgets with orbital constellation dynamics to model time-varying capacity.
  • Simulate expected system-level performance and provide feedback for potential improvements.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in satellite system design and analysis.
  • Proficient in developing code using MATLAB with industry-standard practices.
  • Experience conducting trade studies and documenting design trades.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with wireless system design, including RF system analysis.
