Job Summary
Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites. Its mission is to bring fast affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast affordable broadband to a wide range of customers including consumers businesses government agencies and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.
As an RF RAN Systems Engineer you will support the integration validation and characterization of advanced wireless communication this role you will work across RF hardware wireless protocols and software-controlled test environments to help evaluate system performance investigate issues and improve test coverage and repeatability.
You will be a hands-on contributor working with RF bench equipment wireless waveforms protocol-driven validation and system-level debugging across hardware and software interfaces. The ideal candidate has strong engineering fundamentals familiarity with 3GPP-based wireless systems and the ability to translate test objectives into structured execution and clear technical results.
This role is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys lab work cross-functional problem solving and working at the intersection of RF communications systems and validation engineering.
Key job responsibilities
- Execute integration and validation test plans for wireless communication hardware subsystems and full communication chains.
- Support characterization of RF and communication performance including waveform quality link behavior interoperability and end-to-end system metrics.
- Operate RF lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers signal generators oscilloscopes vector network analyzers power meters and related instrumentation.
- Collect analyze and summarize engineering data for key metrics such as EVM ACLR RSRP RSRQ SINR throughput latency jitter packet loss and related performance indicators.
- Support validation of systems using 3GPP LTE and 5G NR concepts including familiarity with radio procedures mobility behavior and network elements such as gNodeB and eNodeB.
- Troubleshoot issues across RF protocol software and hardware domains; contribute to structured root-cause analysis and debug closure.
- Build configure and maintain repeatable lab test setups procedures logs fixtures and documentation.
- Partner with RF antenna systems software and test engineers to improve system robustness debug efficiency and validation capability.
- Contribute to scripting automation or data processing workflows using Python MATLAB or similar tools.
- Present concise technical findings status updates and recommendations to cross-functional engineering teams.
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.
About the team
You will join a cross-functional engineering team focused on integration and validation of advanced wireless and RF communication systems. The team works closely with antenna RF systems software and test engineers to develop scalable test strategies improve system performance and ensure robust operation across development and validation environments. We value strong technical judgment hands-on ownership clear communication and a bias for solving difficult cross-disciplinary problems.
- Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related technical field
- Experience through internships research university laboratory work or industry in RF systems wireless communications communications test or system integration.
- Familiarity with wireless communication fundamentals including modulation waveforms link behavior noise interference and RF signal quality.
- Familiarity with 3GPP LTE and/or 5G NR fundamentals including radio procedures protocol stack concepts and network elements such as gNodeB and eNodeB.
- Experience using RF lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers oscilloscopes signal generators vector network analyzers power meters or similar instrumentation.
- Experience collecting analyzing and presenting engineering test data.
- Experience with Python MATLAB or similar tools for scripting automation or data analysis.
- Experience with troubleshooting technical issues methodically and communicate findings clearly in written and verbal form.
- Masters degree with concentration in RF wireless communications signal processing or communication systems.
- Experience with LTE and/or 5G NR system testing device validation protocol analysis or interoperability testing.
- Familiarity with wireless logging and analysis tools such as Wireshark QXDM QCAT tcpdump or similar diagnostic platforms.
- Experience evaluating wireless or RF KPIs such as EVM ACLR RSRP RSRQ SINR throughput latency jitter packet loss MOS or handover performance.
- Familiarity with IMS VoLTE VoWiFi SIP RTP RTCP or related IP-based communication flows.
- Experience working in lab or field test environments involving debugging defect tracking and structured validation reporting.
- Familiarity with Linux command line environments and script-driven test execution.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to work effectively across RF systems software and test teams.
