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
- • Own the phased array RF front-end architecture across both D2D and Broadband payloads — spanning the analog signal chain from antenna element to digital interface
- • Ensure RF front-end performance across all beam steering angles — including scan loss, impedance variation, and element-level amplitude and phase consistency
- • Define T/R module architecture balancing performance, integration, and semiconductor process trade-offs across both programs
- • Work with the D2D and Broadband Phased Array Architects to ensure RF front-end consistency with full signal chain requirements

We are looking for a Phased Array RF Front End Architect to join the Payload Architecture team in San Diego. This is a cross-program role — you will own the phased array RF front-end architecture for both the Direct-to-Device (cellular-band) and Broadband (Ka-band) satellite payloads. You will work hand-in-hand with the D2D Phased Array Architect, the Broadband Phased Array Architect, and the DSP & Digital Beamforming Architect to define and improve the phased array RF front-end architecture and semiconductor process strategy across both programs.
This role requires deep expertise in phased array RF front-end design spanning cellular-band and Ka-band frequencies. You will own the analog RF signal chain from antenna...
