Amazon LEO
Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 low Earth orbit satellites. Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities worldwide, serving consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations that lack reliable connectivity. Key job responsibilities
As a Satellite Communication (SATCOM) System Engineer, you will be responsible for Customer Terminal (CT) architecture, integration, and validation with hardware, software, and firmware. You will work in a collaborative environment with a multi‑disciplinary team, including electrical hardware, antenna, simulation, silicon, algorithm, firmware, and software engineers. Develop the CT architecture with sub‑system engineers in electrical, RF, antenna, thermal, modem, DSP, ASIC, algorithm, firmware, modeling, and software. Develop validation plans, build the validation infrastructure, execute testing, analyze data, and report results to stakeholders. Investigate and resolve validation failures by leading cross‑functional teams. Ensure delivered work meets technical, functional, performance, regulatory, and business requirements. Perform in‑field and on‑orbit validation with satellites. Travel up to 10% of the time, depending on project phases. Export Control Requirement
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. A day in the life
