Job Description
Project Kuiper is Amazons initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will deliver fast affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the globe. Our Customer Terminal (CT) antenna team is developing industrydefining phased array technologies to connect users to the Kuiper satellite network from virtually anywhere on Earth.
We are seeking a worldclass technical and engineering leader to lead our Customer Terminal antenna team. This individual will be responsible for advancing the stateoftheart in phased array antennas overseeing innovation at the intersection of RF antenna ASIC and communication systems. This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead one of the most advanced phased array development groups in the world delivering products that are both technically revolutionary and massively scalable.
Key job responsibilities
As the Senior Manager of Customer Terminal Antenna Development you will:
Lead a multidisciplinary team of antenna engineers RF experts ASIC interface specialists and system architects.
Drive the endtoend development of highperformance lowcost electronically steerable antenna systems for LEO satellite communication.
Ensure seamless integration between custom ASICs and antenna systems for optimal RF performance.
Own phased array architecture design simulation prototyping test and production integration.
Influence and define systemlevel requirements in collaboration with the ASIC software systems and product teams.
Champion engineering excellence and innovation setting a high bar for technical depth quality and delivery.
Build a strong culture of ownership where engineers are empowered to innovate and challenge assumptions.
Represent the antenna team in crossfunctional executivelevel meetings and technical reviews.
Serve as the technical voice of authority providing expert guidance and mentorship to senior engineers.
Partner with recruiting to attract toptier talent and continue scaling the team.
