Data Scientist , Leo Customer Terminal

Job :  | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

At Amazon, we’re inventing on behalf of customers, and with Amazon Leo, we’re redefining what global connectivity looks like. Our mission is to deliver fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Every system we build helps connect people to education, healthcare, opportunity, and each other.

As a Data Scientist, you will be responsible for developing advanced analytics and machine learning solutions for user terminals. You will develop predictive models to proactively identify possible user terminal failures in the field. You will work in a collaborative environment with a multi-disciplinary team, including constellation, RF, antenna, silicon, algorithm, and software engineers.

• Develop statistical and analytical tool to enable the regression decision from on-orbit and lab measurement of user terminals
• Publish documents and create compelling visualizations and presentations to communicate insights to stakeholders
• Create and manage datasets for continued pre-training and supervised fine-tuning of LLMs
• Develop scalable visualizations for analysis of user terminal performance
• Work closely with constellation, RF, antenna, silicon, algorithm, and software engineers to root-cause the failures using data as the primary tool
• Drive consensus on metrics and analysis approaches to support product development strategy

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

A day in the life:
As a Data Scientist in the LEO Customer Terminal Team, you will work daily with satellite constellation, algorithm, RF, antenna, silicon, hardware, and software teams in a collaborative environment. Your focus will be using data as an intelligence source to enable design decisions for the team.

About the team:
The LEO Customer Terminal team is responsible for developing both outdoor and indoor devices that enable customers to access internet service via the LEO satellite network. We own the entire process from early prototypes through mass production, including requirements documentation, architecture definition, hardware development, algorithm development, and all integration and verification testing.
