EMC/EMI Engineer - Antenna, Hardware Development

Project Kuiper • Redmond, WA

11d

About The Position

Project Kuiper 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. 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.

Requirements

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

Nice To Haves

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
