Role Posting Log in to save

The Senior RF Systems Integration and Test Engineer joins the Amazon Leo team to bridge the gap between RF validation and 3GPP system behavior. This lab-centered role involves integrating RF payload hardware, modems, antennas, Open RAN components, and 5G Core infrastructure into end-to-end validation environments. The engineer will execute chamber, OTA, HIL, and modem tests while correlating RF impairments with protocol behaviors like registration, mobility, and VoNR. Key responsibilities include troubleshooting cross-domain issues across hardware, software, and network configurations to qualify satellite communications capabilities. Required skills include proficiency in Linux, Python, and analyzing packet captures or protocol traces. The candidate will utilize spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and channel emulators to resolve failures. This role specifically addresses the technical challenges of 3GPP Release 17 NTN behavior, including synchronization, Doppler effects, and link quality for satellite networks.

What you'll do

Integrate RF payload hardware, modems, antennas, and Open RAN components into end-to-end validation environments.
Execute RF, OTA, chamber, HIL, and system-level tests for NTN and satellite terrestrial networks.
Validate 3GPP Release 17 NTN behaviors including synchronization, mobility, Doppler effects, and link quality.
Correlate RF impairments with protocol behavior such as registration, PDU session setup, and VoNR service continuity.
Use spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and channel emulators to isolate failures in complex systems.
Perform root cause analysis on cross-domain issues spanning hardware, modem software, RAN configuration, and core behavior.
Develop integration test procedures, readiness gates, and defect reports for RF and 3GPP system validation.

What we're looking for

Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or a related field.
7+ years of experience in RF systems integration, wireless validation, modem validation, OTA testing, or cellular lab test experience.
Strong understanding of RF communications fundamentals including link budgets, SNR, EVM, and antenna behavior.
Knowledge of 3GPP Release 17 NTN concepts and ability to connect standards behavior to RF and system level validation.
Experience integrating or testing Open RAN, gNodeB, CU, DU, RU, modem, RF front end, or 5G Core systems.
Proficiency in Linux and experience using RF lab equipment like spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and channel emulators.
Export Control Requirement.
