Sr. Satellite Hardware Design Engineer, Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo 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.

As an Sr. Hardware Design Engineer, you will engage with a world class cross-disciplinary team to design innovative solutions. You will work closely with colleagues throughout Amazon Leo to drive key aspects of product definition, execution and optimization. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Key job responsibilities • Decompose system level requirements into realizable hardware requirements. • Design and develop a solution that meets these requirements. • Design, develop, and optimize electrical hardware for use in space. • Simulate and optimize EE circuits, perform schematic capture, and oversee layout. • Build up test bench for design verification. • Evaluate and optimize design in the lab to demonstrate design meets with system requirements. • Work with RF system, power, software, mechanical thermal, reliability and compliance teams to ensure solution integrates with overall platform requirements.

Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

A day in the life You will regularly interact with other engineers to realize microwave hardware designs that will fly in space. This requires the ability to work well with others in a highly cross-functional organization to drive product definition, design, optimization, implementation and test.
