As a Hardware Development Engineer, Antenna, you will join the team building next-generation satellite communications hardware for the Amazon LEO initiative. You will contribute to the full lifecycle of phased array antenna systems for satellites and customer terminals, moving from initial concept to hardware production. Your daily responsibilities include designing printed circuit boards, antennas, high-speed digital and RF circuitry, and custom test fixtures. You will develop signaling and control algorithms, perform lab testing and optimization on prototypes, and collaborate with silicon, software, mechanical, and avionics teams. The role requires expertise in hardware design, validation of components, and hardware/software integration for real-time systems. You will also manage vendor operations and part procurement to support production schedules for low Earth orbit broadband satellite communications.

What you'll do

  • Design printed circuit boards, antennas, high-speed digital/RF circuitry, and custom test fixtures.
  • Develop and implement signaling and control algorithms to interface with hardware components.
  • Perform bring-up, testing, and optimization of phased array antenna prototypes in a lab environment.
  • Ensure hardware interoperability by partnering with silicon, software, mechanical, and avionics teams.
  • Coordinate with third-party vendors and equipment suppliers to manage part procurement.
  • Support smooth production schedules for satellite and customer terminal hardware.

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of experience in hardware design and validation of components, subsystems, and systems.
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics, or equivalent.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Experience designing PCBs, antennas, high-speed digital/RF circuitry, and custom test fixtures.
  • Ability to develop and implement signaling and control algorithms to interface with hardware.
