About the role

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite constellation initiative designed to bring fast, affordable broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. We are building a next-generation satellite system from the ground up — designing everything from the spacecraft and payload to the ground infrastructure and customer terminals. This is a rare opportunity to join a team that is shaping the future of global connectivity at scale.

What they're looking for

  • 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
  • Key job responsibilities
  • • Work with the D2D Phased Array Architect to define what needs to be verified, how, and what constitutes pass or fail across the full test hierarchy
  • • Own the D2D verification strategy tracing from payload requirements through subsystem and component-level test plans
  • • Work with systems, HW design, antenna, silicon, and calibration teams to build verification plans covering the full operating envelope
  • • Define RF and communications system test methodology — transmit quality, receive sensitivity, spurious emissions, blocker rejection, and regulatory compliance
