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. As a RF Systems Integration and Validation Engineer, you will be the hands-on owner of test setups and systems that validate our phased array and RF communication systems. You'll assemble and configure test stations and frameworks to execute test plans and validate software/hardware performance metrics and support integration campaigns across lab, environmental, and in-orbit testing. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with RF hardware, Linux command line tools, and mechanical fixtures, and who can quickly turn ambiguous test goals into reliable test execution. Key job responsibilities - Execute integration and validation test plans for phased arrays, RF front-ends, and full communication chains, documenting results and anomalies. - Operate test equipment and Linux-based control systems via command-line tools and scripts; contribute to scripting improvements (e.g., Python, Matlab, Bash). - Build, configure, and maintain RF and system test setups, including cabling, fixtures, motion systems, and environmental test interfaces. - Work with mechanical, antenna, and RF engineers to design and refine fixtures, mounts, and interfaces for repeatable measurements. - Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of test failures across RF, digital, and mechanical domains; provide clear written and verbal summaries. - Ensure test setups are safe, documented, and reproducible, including maintaining test procedures, checklists, and configuration control. - Provide feedback to systems development and test automation engineers to improve robustness and usability of automated test flows. - Assist with environmental and qualification testing (thermal, vibe, EMI/EMC, etc.) as needed. 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 Company

Amazon

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
