Job Summary
Amazon Leo is Amazons low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools hospitals businesses and government agencies Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
Our goal is to be Earths most customer centric company and we are just getting started. We need people who want to join an ambitious program that continues to push the state of the art in space-based systems design.
We are looking for the next member of our avionics development team who are building critical components for Amazon Leo satellites. We are looking for an exceptional engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to deliver hardware.
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 responsibilities
Own end-to-end delivery of satellite avionics subsystems from architecture and requirements through production ramp in partnership with peer engineers.
Lead system and subsystem architecture translating mission requirements into manufacturable hardware designs.
Drive circuit design analysis and ECAD schematic capture to meet performance and reliability targets.
Lead hardware design reviews (architecture schematic PCB layout) and set the technical bar for design quality.
Develop and execute bring-up verification and qualification test strategies.
Lead debugging and root cause resolution across development qualification and production working closely with design and test engineers.
Establish requirements traceability and verification frameworks for hardware subsystems.
Lead production readiness and ramp including test strategy yield improvement and issue resolution.
Influence cross-functional teams (systems firmware manufacturing test suppliers) to deliver program milestones.
Act as a technical leader raising engineering standards and developing other engineers.
A day in the life
As a Senior Electrical Engineer you will be part of the avionics hardware development team designing and testing systems supporting satellite sensing and control (power delivery propulsion attitude control and more). You will lead work across the full lifecycle from component selection and schematic design through layout review bring-up validation and system integration.
You will help define requirements drive high-quality hardware designs and ensure robust execution from development into production. Working closely with peer engineers you will lead critical technical efforts while partnering across systems firmware manufacturing and integration teams to solve complex problems.
Youll operate in a fast-paced ambiguous environment tackling challenges that have not been solved at scale and contributing to the development of engineering standards across the organization. Along the way we guarantee that you will learn a lot have fun and make a positive impact on tens of millions of people!
About the team
Our team is responsible for delivering production hardware subsystems for attitude control power delivery and propulsion control subsystems on the satellite bus. We take ownership and work hard to deliver the highest quality solutions to support the long-term success of Amazon Leo. This team consists of a broad set of technical backgrounds and we look forward to welcoming people that are excited to help us deliver broadband internet to underserved communities!
- Bachelors degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
- 5 years of experience developing hardware across the full product lifecycle (concept through production at scale)
- Experience with PCB design and debug including processors FPGAs power supplies and sensors
- Experience with complex board designs (e.g. high-speed interfaces power electronics or high-reliability systems)
- Experience using ECAD tools for schematic capture and PCB layout
- Experience driving hardware through bring-up validation and integration
- Masters degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
- 7 years of experience developing hardware across the full product lifecycle in aerospace automotive or similar high-reliability environments
- Experience with satellite avionics or vehicle control systems
- Experience with system integration into complex electromechanical assemblies or enclosures
- Experience with radiation-tolerant design or qualification for harsh environments
- Experience developing test systems or automation (e.g. Python C/C)
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or similar system-level test methodologies
- Experience with low-level firmware development and hardware/software integration
