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 for a low Earth orbit satellite constellation. 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 systems and calibration teams to deliver high-performance links for space and ground segments. Daily tasks include using EM and RF design tools like HFSS, CST, and AWR for simulations, performing lab validation, and developing code for testing. Key responsibilities involve optimizing beam-forming strategies, defining module specifications, and providing DFM and DFT feedback. Required skills include proficiency in MATLAB or Python and experience with mainstream antenna simulation software.

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 mainstream antenna simulation tools such as CST or HFSS.
  • Experience in high-volume manufacturing environments (preferred).
  • Experience in phased array development, including antenna, RF system design, and integration (preferred).
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Export Control Requirement.
