TL;DR · Senior Antenna & RF Engineer

The Senior Antenna & RF Engineer joins the Amazon Leo team to support the development, test, and design of antenna and RF Front-End systems. This role involves designing, integrating, and characterizing various antenna topologies, including phased arrays, reflectors, and aperture antennas. The engineer will own end-to-end RF performance from ADC to antenna radiation, collaborating with RFIC, PA/LNA, and system teams. Daily tasks include using EM and RF design tools like HFSS, CST, and AWR to simulate performance, as well as performing lab validation and over-the-air testing. The position requires proficiency in MATLAB or Python to develop code for simulation and validation. The work focuses on solving technical challenges for space and ground segments within a low Earth orbit satellite constellation to provide global broadband access.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize antenna and array architectures including element selection, lattice, and beam-forming strategies.
  • Own end-to-end RF performance from ADC/DAC through the RF front-end to antenna radiation.
  • Use EM and RF design tools like HFSS or CST to simulate element performance and mutual coupling.
  • Define and maintain antenna specifications and requirements at the module, aperture, and system levels.
  • Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns including chamber and over-the-air validation.
  • Provide DFM and DFT feedback for antenna boards, modules, and test fixtures.
  • Develop and deploy code to support testing, simulation, and validation of antenna systems.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of experience in antenna design, RF system design, or front end design.
  • Experience in MATLAB or Python.
  • Experience with one of the mainstream antenna simulation tools such as CST or HFSS.
  • Experience in phased array development, including antenna and RF system design (preferred).
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Export Control Requirement.
