Sr. Terminal System Engineer, Leo Customer Terminal

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.

In this role, your responsibilities include:

• • Lead a team of talented engineers, provide mentorship and career growth opportunity

• • Develop the CT architecture by working closely with sub-system engineers in electrical, RF, antenna, thermal, modem, DSP, ASIC, algorithm, firmware, modeling, and software

• • Develop the validation plans, build the validation infrastructure, execute testing, analyze data, and report the results to the stakeholders

• • Investigate and resolve validation failures by leading cross-functional teams

• • Ensure the delivered work meets technical, functional, performance, regulatory, and business requirements

• • Perform in-field and on-orbit validation with satellites

• • Travel up to 10% of the time, depending on project phases
