TL;DR · Ground Systems Hardware Development Engineer

As a Ground Systems Hardware Development Engineer within the Amazon Leo Ground Systems Engineering team, you will independently design, develop, and validate hardware components and subsystems for complex aerospace systems. Your daily work involves supporting the design, integration, and testing of Telemetry, Tracking & Command and Ground Gateway hardware, specifically focusing on RF hardware, electronics subsystems, antenna feed assemblies, and RF front-end chains. You will perform CAD functions, execute hardware bring-up, and lead verification plans to ensure reliability in environments with limited post-deployment access. The role requires technical proficiency in RF systems, mechanical, thermal, and software integration to support satellite launch and command operations. You will solve technical challenges related to high-speed broadband connectivity by developing ground station terminals that maintain critical communication with a Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and validate RF hardware and electronics subsystems for TT&C and Gateway terminals.
  • Perform CAD functions for new designs and improvements to deployed infrastructure.
  • Execute hardware bring-up, integration, and test campaigns for Gateway and TT&C subsystems.
  • Develop and execute verification and validation plans to ensure hardware meets performance and reliability requirements.
  • Support root cause analysis and failure investigations on ground station hardware.
  • Drive hardware development, procurement, and integration activities with internal teams and external suppliers.
  • Manage the transition of hardware designs from development through qualification into production and field deployment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or an equivalent engineering science.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Experience in design, development, and validation of RF hardware and electronics subsystems.
  • Ability to perform CAD functions for new designs and infrastructure improvements.
  • Experience executing bring-up, hardware integration, and test campaigns for subsystems.
  • Ability to develop and execute verification and validation plans for performance and reliability.
  • Experience supporting root cause analysis and failure investigations on ground station hardware.
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
