Hardware Engineer

Amazon Leo Hardware EngineerAmazon 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 Hardware Engineer, you will be part of the team developing cost-optimized Customer Terminal products designed for high-volume production. You will own key hardware designs and work across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to deliver simple, robust, and scalable solutions.You will own or contribute to the following:Design high-speed digital, RF, power, and mixed-signal circuitry in collaboration with cross-functional engineering teamsDevelop and optimize electronic subsystems with a strong focus on cost, simplicity, reliability, and manufacturabilityEvaluate design architectures and component selections to identify opportunities for BOM cost reduction and design simplificationPerform engineering trade studies to balance product performance, requirements, cost, schedule, and customer experienceOwn schematic capture and work closely with PCB layout engineers to deliver production-ready designsDesign and optimize DC/DC power supplies and point-of-load power architecturesIdentify opportunities to reduce component count, PCB complexity, layer count, assembly cost, and manufacturing complexitySupport requirement definition and develop hardware validation and test plansLead board bring-up, debug, characterization, and validation of modules and subsystemsSupport the development of automated test systems, fixtures, and factory test solutions with an emphasis on minimizing test time and costPartner with manufacturing and supply chain teams to support component sourcing, alternate qualification, and cost reduction initiativesSupport designs through qualification, production ramp, and high-volume manufacturingExport 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.
