Communications Engineer, Simulation and Modeling

Job description

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 a Communications Engineer in Modeling and Simulation, this role is primarily responsible for the developing and analyzing high level system resource allocation techniques for links to ensure optimal system and network performance from the capacity, coverage, power consumption, and availability point of view. Be part of the team defining the overall communication system and architecture of Amazon Leo’s broadband wireless network. This is a unique opportunity to innovate and define novel wireless technology with few legacy constraints. The team develops and designs the communication system of Leo and analyzes its overall system level performance, such as overall throughput, latency, system availability, packet loss, etc., as well as compatibility for both connectivity and interference mitigation with other space and terrestrial systems. This role in particular will be responsible for 1) evaluating complex multi-disciplinary trades involving RF bandwidth and network resource allocation to customers, 2) understanding and designing around hardware/software capabilities and constraints to support a dynamic network topology, 3) developing heuristic or solver-based algorithms to continuously improve and efficiently use available…
