Job description

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From households to small businesses, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve communities and organizations operating in places without dependable internet access. The Electrical Engineer will be a member of Amazon Leo's Inter-Satellite Link Avionics team, focusing on the design of electrical functions including analog sensor signal conditioning and processing, motor and actuator control, embedded digital electronics, power regulation, and overall monitoring and control across spacecraft interfaces. 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 In this role, you will be expected to own a variety of tasks, from board design and component selection to layout review, board bring-up, system test, and root-cause analysis at the subsystem and system levels. You will be responsible for ensuring high-quality and innovative designs while also supporting other Amazon Leo colleagues by reviewing and improving board-level and other electrical designs. We are looking for an engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. You will be expected to work with a team of top-notch engineers and collaborate with multiple spacecraft design and integration teams. You should be comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy and relish the idea of solving problems that have not been solved at scale before. Along the way, we guarantee that you will learn a lot, have fun, and make a positive impact on tens of millions of people. A day in the life You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations. As an Electrical Engineer, your tasks would vary between board design, layout reviews, test plan development, qualification and root cause analysis. This is a cross-functional role requiring constant interaction with multiple HW/SW design teams and end-users. - B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience. - 5+ years of experience in hardware development across multiple phases of the product life cycle in consumer electronics, power electronics, robotics, aerospace, automotive, communications, or a combination thereof. - Demonstrated technical depth in board-level electrical hardware design, including areas such as precision analog and sensor electronics, embedded digital systems, high-speed interfaces, motor or actuator control, memory, or power regulation. - Experience with PCB design, board bring-up, and debugging involving components such as microprocessors, SoCs, FPGAs, memories, power supplies, ADCs, DACs, and sensors. - Experience with complex board designs involving high-speed interconnects, high-reliability electronics, power regulation, or motor and actuator-control electronics. - Experience with schematic capture and PCB-layout ECAD tools. - Hands-on experience performing bench design-verification testing and debug using oscilloscopes and other common electrical laboratory equipment. - M.S. or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. - Broad hardware-development experience spanning multiple electrical engineering disciplines. - Experience designing precision analog circuits involving ADCs, DACs, low-noise amplifiers, transimpedance amplifiers, sensors, or filters. - Experience with motor drivers, current sensing, feedback circuits, or actuator-control electronics. - Experience with embedded processors, SoCs, FPGAs, or memories such as DDR, NOR flash, or FRAM. - Experience with high-speed circuit design, transmission lines, controlled-impedance routing, signal integrity, or power integrity. - Experience designing or debugging board-level power supplies, including buck converters and LDOs. - Experience using circuit simulation and analysis tools such as LTspice or MATLAB.
