Wireless Integration And Test Engineer, Amazon Leo

Wireless Integration and Test Engineer, Amazon LeoBe part of the team defining and developing the overall communication system architecture and design of Amazon Leo's wireless network.This is a unique opportunity to innovate and define ground-breaking wireless technology with few legacy constraints.This position will play a critical role in the integration and verification of various HW and SW sub-systems as a part of system integration and link bring-up and verification.As a part of this effort you will develop custom HW, custom SW and automation solutions for link bring-up and verification to ensure the system and link between the Satellite and ground is operating as per the design requirements.You will also be developing advanced proof of concept HW / SW systems to improve the performance and reliability of the Amazon Leo network.In particular this role will be responsible for using concepts from digital signal processing and wireless communications to develop novel solutions for achieving an ultra-high performance LEO network.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.Key Job ResponsibilitiesWork closely with implementation teams to evaluate and simulate expected system level performance and provide quick feedback on potential improvements.Work with the PHY and Network teams to seamlessly integrate the link-layer within the stack.Integrate the various link-layers working closely with implementation teams.Verify link budget and RF line-ups in RF and IF configurations.Create time synchronized setups with signal generators / spectrum analyzers and use these to verify timing budgets.Architect and document time / frequency / space acquisition and tracking algorithms.Understand Doppler pre and post compensation techniques with CFO / SFO in LEO comms systems.Experience with channel emulators is a plus.Work with a team to develop novel customised test plans using embedded programming to generate and capture waveforms in real-time.Experience with software defined radios is highly preferred.Contribute development-test bring-up procedures with Linux, Python, bash scripting etc.Willing to work in a lab environment and on scripting to change a SW / HW pieces incrementally and understand its effect on payload (via probing RF, IF, clock, channel quality messages) with help of Spec-an, sig-gen, scope, frequency counter, attenuators and other related equipment.About the TeamAmazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.Basic QualificationsMaster's degree in Electrical Engineering / Communications Engineering, or 5+ years of wireless communication
