Full job description

Description

Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon Leo 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.

Amazon seeks an Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (EMI and EMC) Engineer to join the Antenna Team. As a Kuiper EMC/EMI engineer you will develop requirements, review designs and build test capability for complex payload subsystems for low-earth-orbit satellites. In this role you will influence decision makers on the process, procedures and necessary tests required to achieve EMI/EMC qualified hardware. You will execute tests and provide leadership for other engineers and technicians during test campaigns. The key responsibilities of the role are:

  • Define requirements for testing and qualifying subsystems

  • Perform analysis of radiated emissions and susceptibility (RE/RS)

  • Develop models for interference and shielding issues to mitigate and control emissions and susceptibility.

  • Work with electronic component design teams to communicate requirements related to electromagnetic environments such as shielding, grounding, bonding and isolation

  • Work with subsystem design owners on EMI related challenges

  • Define and coordinate EMI and EMC testing for a satellite and its subsystems

  • Coordinate requirements and validation with Launch Providers’ EMI and EMC teams.

  • Develop and maintain EMI/EMC test labs and equipment and support execution of EMI/EMC testing for a satellite and its subsystems

  • Identify emission and susceptibility non-conformance. Debug all failures to root-cause and provide manufacturable solutions.

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.

Basic Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in a hardware development role focusing on electromagnetic environments or EMI/EMC.

  • 3+ years of experience with defining and conducting EMI/EMC testing for electronic components and systems.

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field

Preferred Qualifications

  • PhD or Master in Electrical Engineering, Physics or related degree

  • 7+ years of experience in spaceflight avionics development as an electromagnetic environments effects engineer.

  • Experience with EMC industry standards and specifications for aerospace such as MIL-STD-461 and AIAA S-121A.

  • Experience with using analysis to define requirements for emissions and susceptibility of avionics components.

  • Experience modelling electromagnetic environments using electromagnetic (EM) computational commercial software.
