TL;DR · Senior Communication Systems Engineer

As a Sr. Communication Systems Engineer on the Amazon Leo team, you will help define the architecture and design of a broadband wireless network for a Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation. You will lead efforts in integration, verification, and testing of systems with a specific focus on MAC and higher layer testing. Your daily responsibilities include developing advanced L1/L2/L3 concepts to improve performance, creating system and network simulation services, and drafting requirements from system to hardware levels. You will build tools for modeling physical layer aspects like receiver modeling and interference cancellation. The role requires expertise in Matlab, C++, and Python to develop scripts for RF system verification. Key technical domains include information theory, network coding, mobile mesh networks, and the performance analysis of LEO satellite networks using standards such as 4G/5G or DVB-S2.

What you'll do

  • Lead the integration, verification, and testing of communication systems with a focus on MAC and higher layer protocols.
  • Develop advanced L1/L2/L3 concepts to improve the performance and reliability of the LEO network.
  • Build system and network simulation services using Matlab, C++, or Python.
  • Model physical layer aspects including receiver modeling, interference cancellation, and FEC abstraction models.
  • Derive system-level requirements down to hardware and software levels and define associated test cases.
  • Identify necessary hardware and software for verification and guide development teams in creating testing tools.
  • Write scripts and code for specific functions required for the simulation and verification of RF systems.
  • Analyze system performance metrics including throughput, latency, availability, and packet loss.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience in the electrical engineering field.
  • 7+ years of experience in wireless systems design and/or RF design implementation.
  • Experience in wireless system design and architecture, system integration, and RF system analysis.
  • 7+ years of experience developing code in Matlab, C, C++, or Python with industry standard coding and regression practices.
  • Experience with information theory, network coding, mobile mesh networks, or LEO satellite networks (preferred).
  • Experience with simulation of RF standards like 4G/5G, 802.11, DVB-S2, or other broadband wireless standards (preferred).
  • EXPORT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS.
