TL;DR · Senior Phased Array Architect, Payload Phased Array Systems

The Senior Phased Array Architect, Payload Phased Array Systems leads the architectural vision for next-generation antenna systems within the Amazon Leo initiative. This role involves defining technical roadmaps, driving system-level design, and overseeing integration between phased array systems, RF front-ends, and digital beamforming architectures. The architect must create blueprints for RF, digital, and hardware teams while ensuring designs meet strict performance, power, and thermal targets for high-volume production. Key responsibilities include mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with supply chain and operations teams. Required expertise includes phased array design principles like beamforming and steering, RF front-end design, signal integrity, and system modeling. Preferred skills include experience with EM simulation tools like CST, HFSS, and ADS, along with proficiency in C, C++, Python, or MATLAB.

What you'll do

  • Define and lead the architectural vision for advanced phased array antenna systems.
  • Provide strategic technical input on program decisions and long-term technology roadmaps.
  • Create system-level design blueprints to guide RF, digital, and hardware teams.
  • Oversee system integration between phased array systems, RF front-ends, and digital beamforming.
  • Guide cross-functional teams to meet stringent performance, power, and thermal targets.
  • Set architectural direction for manufacturability and testability for high-volume production.
  • Mentor and develop junior engineers to cultivate a culture of technical excellence.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or above in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent.
  • 7+ years of experience leading design or architecture of new and existing systems.
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver products and projects on tight deadlines.
  • Experience in phased array design principles, including beamforming, steering, and calibration.
  • Experience with RF front-end design, high-speed digital systems, and signal integrity.
  • Experience with system modeling tools and architectural design methodologies.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent (preferred).
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
