Job description
from Amazon careersAmazon 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.
Amazon seeks a Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer to join the Plexus Team. As an RF engineer you will develop requirements, review designs and build on ground test capability for the LEO Satellite constellation. In this role you will influence decision makers on the process, procedures and necessary tests required to achieve optimized RF designs. You will build, calibrate, and operate test environments assisting other LEO engineering teams to validate new software and hardware configurations and test cases.
Key job responsibilities
Perform link budget analysis, select appropriate RF ICs and passive components, review and optimize PCB schematics and layouts
Use specialized test equipment to validate RF performance from the sub-component to the system level
Validate RF performance and troubleshoot RF issues from the sub-component to the system level
Work cross-functionally with other engineers to meet challenging form factor and industrial design requirements while preventing unintentional radiators from negatively impacting RF receiver sensitivity
Collaborate with manufacturing test and operations teams to review RF test fixture design and setup so that device RF performance can be tested efficiently to the correct specifications at the factory
