Job summary

Amazon is seeking an Antenna Systems Engineer to design, calibrate, simulate and validate high-performance phased array antenna systems for its low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. You will work with cross-functional teams including antenna design, ASIC, software, and systems engineering to ensure optimal beam-forming across conditions.

Responsibilities include end-to-end modeling, lab measurements, automated calibration workflows, and documentation for design reviews and production

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering with relevant coursework in digital communication theory, digital signal processing, RF/Microwave Engineering, Antennas and Electromagnetic theory
• Experience in DSP techniques, digital modulation, radio architecture, line-up analysis, RF system design
• Experience with simulation tools such as SystemVue, ADS or LabVIEW

Responsibilities

• Design and develop novel calibration algorithms and techniques for complex phased array antenna systems, including element-level amplitude and phase correction
• Perform end-to-end OTA validation of phased array antenna systems, including beam pattern verification, EIRP, EVM, and sensitivity measurements
• Support factory production at scale by developing robust calibration and test processes, troubleshooting yield issues, and driving continuous improvement to maintain throughput and quality on the production floor
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to debug and root-cause issues impacting phased array antenna performance, driving resolution from identification through implementation
• Design, maintain, and operate CICD test chambers, including calibration schedules and measurement uncertainty documentation
• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts for antenna characterization and calibration workflows
• Generate and maintain technical reports, test procedures, and calibration documentation for design reviews, certification, and production readiness milestones
