RFSystemEngineer

Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon LEO will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. As a Sr. RF Systems Analysis and Design Engineer, you will own end-to-end modeling and performance analysis of complex satellite links and RF sub-system design, spanning modem, RF front-end, phased array, and space/ground channel models. You will build, maintain, and validate system-level link models that drive architecture, hardware requirements, and on-orbit performance, working closely with phased array, RF communications, EMC, and calibration teams. This role blends analytical modeling, software development, and engagement with real hardware to ensure we hit stringent performance targets at scale. Key job responsibilities - Develop and maintain end-to-end RF system and link models (3GPP style link analysis, access, and feeder links), including link budgets, impairment modeling, and performance trade studies. - Perform system-level simulations of digital phased array architectures and RF signal chains, and correlate against lab and field measurements. - Define and flow down system performance requirements (EIRP, G/T, EVM, ACLR, NF, linearity, beam metrics) to hardware, RFIC, antenna, and firmware teams. - Work with modem, waveform, and MAC/PHY teams to optimize the RF system for throughput, coverage, power, and availability across global deployment scenarios. - Build reusable analysis tools and libraries (e.g., Python/Matlab/C++) to standardize link analysis and scenario sweeps across the org. - Collaborate with test, calibration, and validation teams to design measurement campaigns
