Job summary

Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity. You will design, build and support data pipelines for RF links and apply geospatial analysis to terabytes of IQ data from global ground sites.

Join a team that develops automated test cases, link budgets, and DTD integration, working with engineers to validate RF links in lab environments and integrate weather and terrain data into models.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non‑internship design or architecture of new or existing systems.
• 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience.
• 1+ years of OO design experience.
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and support remote sensor data collection pipelines from space-based RF links for geospatial analysis.
• Implement best practices for storing, searching, and analyzing terabytes of IQ data streams from multiple ground sites.
• Implement life-cycle management strategies for large RF domain data sets.
• Apply geospatial analysis techniques to identify patterns and issues for RF links in space.
• Apply AI/ML techniques for detecting RF and PHY performance anomalies from satellites on orbit.
• Automate scientific instruments to validate RF communication links in a lab environment.
• Integrate real-world data such as weather forecasts and terrain into link budget prediction models.
• Support DTD integration efforts through test automation, link budget analysis, and troubleshooting HW/SW interfaces.
