EMC/EMI Engineer - Antenna, Hardware Development

Description

n

Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

n

Amazon seeks an Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (EMI and EMC) Engineer to join the Antenna Team. As a Kuiper EMC/EMI engineer you will develop requirements, review designs and build test capability for complex payload subsystems for low-earth-orbit satellites. In this role you will influence decision makers on the process, procedures and necessary tests required to achieve EMI/EMC qualified hardware. You will execute tests and provide leadership for other engineers and technicians during test campaigns. The key responsibilities of the role are:

n

• Define requirements for testing and qualifying subsystems

n

• Perform analysis of radiated emissions and susceptibility (RE/RS)

n

• Develop models for interference and shielding issues to mitigate and control emissions and susceptibility.

n

• Work with electronic component design teams to communicate requirements related to electromagnetic environments such as shielding, grounding, bonding and isolation

n

• Work with subsystem design owners on EMI related challenges

n

• Define and coordinate EMI and EMC testing for a satellite and its subsystems

n

• Coordinate requirements and validation with Launch Providers’ EMI and EMC teams.

n

• Develop and maintain EMI/EMC test labs and equipment and support execution of EMI/EMC testing for a satellite and its subsystems

n

• Identify emission and susceptibility non-conformance. Debug all failures to root-cause and provide manufacturable solutions.
