Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

Come work at Amazon!

The Role:

As a DSP Engineer working in the Digital RF Systems team, you will be responsible for DSP architecture definition, design and simulation of DSP blocks in wireless communication SOC that are used in Leo phased array systems. You will be implementing end-to-end system models including fixed point DSP blocks, RF impairments of the radio, phased array antenna and satellite channel. You will be involved in novel techniques to estimate and correct RF impairments that will be implemented in HW and FW. Based on the system level constraints such as low power and cost, you will develop optimized solutions to support high throughput for our customers.

As a DSP Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions. You will work closely with internal inter-disciplinary teams such as ASIC/RFIC designers, FW/SW engineers, design verification engineers. You will drive key aspects of the silicon design, validation and RF performance optimization in the lab.

In this role you will:

  • Design and model DSP algorithms such as beamformer, DPD, CFR, digital cancellation schemes and RF impairment compensation blocks
  • Model RF transceivers impairments and develop RF impairment compensation algorithms

. Collaborate with RFIC/analog designers, communication systems and software engineers to drive chip specifications

. Develop and optimize HW/SW calibration methods for RF SOC and phased array systems

. Architect HW and FW partitioning of calibration algorithms

. Develop detailed test plans and test procedures for validation and characterization of RF Wireless SOC performance

. Involve in chip bring-up in the lab and optimize conducted and/or OTA throughput performances by collaboratively working with cross functional teams

. Characterize and enhance RF performance of the wireless SOC and help integration of the silicon into Leo phased array systems

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.

Amazon.com Inc

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.
