Job summary

Amazon is seeking an RF engineer to design and optimize antenna and array architectures, selecting elements, lattice, feeding networks, and beam-forming strategies to meet RF system goals.

You will use EM tools such as HFSS, CST, or AWR to simulate performance, support prototypes and chamber/OTA tests, provide DFM/DFT feedback, and develop software to support testing and validation of antenna systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• Coursework in RF and electromagnetics.
• U.S. export control eligibility required.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize antenna and array architectures (element selection, lattice, feeding networks, beam-forming strategies) to meet RF system goals.
• Use EM and RF design tools (e.g., HFSS, CST, AWR, or similar) to simulate element/array performance, mutual coupling, scan loss, and pattern characteristics.
• Support prototype builds, bring-up, and test campaigns for active antennas, including chamber testing and over-the-air validation.
• Provide DFM and DFT feedback for antenna boards, modules, and test fixtures.
• Write design reports, test summaries, and present results to leadership and cross-functional partners.
• Develop and deploy code to support testing, simulation, and validation of antenna systems.
