TL;DR · Satellite Systems Engineer, Space Networking Solutions

As a Satellite Systems Engineer, Space Networking Solutions, you will join the Amazon Leo for Government engineering team to develop complex satellite systems for government and international customers. You will own space segment architecture and integration challenges by performing preliminary concept development, trade studies, CONOPS definition, and requirements decomposition. Your daily work involves deep-diving into satellite subsystem functions, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and managing risk and schedule execution. You will perform technical data analysis to optimize system architectures and participate in software-to-hardware integration and test activities for pre- and post-launch operations. The role requires expertise in space systems engineering principles, including power and mass budgets, configuration management, and the use of electronic lab test equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. You will solve technical problems using data to ensure mission functionality within defined operational constraints.

What you'll do

  • Perform space segment systems engineering including concept development, trade studies, and CONOPS definition.
  • Manage requirements decomposition, allocation, interface definition, verification, and validation for satellite systems.
  • Design integrated satellite system solutions by analyzing subsystem functions and interfaces.
  • Participate in software-to-hardware integration and test activities to ensure mission functionality before and after launch.
  • Perform technical data analysis to maintain system configurations according to operational requirements.
  • Conduct various analyses to optimize satellite system architecture and performance.
  • Resolve cross-functional technical issues using data to determine the best engineering approaches.
  • Develop and improve internal systems engineering processes and rigor.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. Citizen.
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in space systems engineering principles, technical performance budgets, requirements analysis, and design verification.
  • 4+ years of experience in spacecraft systems engineering or a related field with hands-on satellite design and integration.
  • 4+ years of experience in the derivation and maintenance of requirements from system level to lower levels.
  • Hands-on experience with spacecraft integration, flatsat testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, or mission operations.
  • 4+ years of experience using standard electronic lab test equipment such as network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Master's degree in engineering, physics, aerospace, or a similar field (preferred).
