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. We are seeking a Scientist to own analytics, scientistic research, validation, and development of our phased array systems across customer terminals and satellite-deployed terminals. In this role, you will transform raw test and telemetry data into actionable insights and automated checks that ensure every deployed system performs to expectations. You will build data and ML pipelines that detect calibration issues, quantify array performance, validate new algorithms, and increase the effectiveness, reproducibility, and automation of our antenna, calibration and deployment workflows. This role sits at the intersection of array processing, data science, and systems engineering, working closely with calibration/validation, phased array systems, RF communications, and test engineering teams.

  • Own metrics and data models that describe end-to-end calibration and system performance for customer terminals and satellite-deployed terminals, from factory test through field deployment.
  • Design and implement ML and statistical methods (e.g., anomaly detection, drift detection, predictive failure models, classification/regression) to identify mis-calibration, degraded performance, and emerging issues in large fleets of terminals and arrays.
  • Develop visualization and analytics tools (dashboards, reports, interactive notebooks) to help engineers quickly understand array performance, calibration residuals, and system margins across time, geography, and configurations.
  • Work with antenna, RF systems, and calibration engineers to define quantitative acceptance criteria for calibration and system validation, and encode those criteria into automated checks and workflows.
  • Design and run experiments and simulations that compare predicted vs. measured performance, closing the loop between link/array models and deployed hardware.
  • Build and maintain data pipelines that ingest lab data, chamber results, manufacturing test data, and in-field telemetry into secure, high-quality datasets suitable for analysis and ML training.
  • Prototype, test, and deploy machine learning and analytics applications in the cloud, partnering with software and systems teams to ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and integrated into existing tools and monitoring systems.
  • Provide clear, data-driven recommendations to improve calibration algorithms, test strategies, and system design; communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Mentor engineers and analysts in data best practices, experiment design, and interpretation of calibration and performance metrics.
  • 3+ years of building models for business application experience
  • PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
  • Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
  • Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
  • Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
  • 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.
  • Experience using Unix/Linux
  • Experience in professional software development
  • Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. The base pay for this position ranges from $136,000/year in our lowest geographic market up to $223,400/year in our highest geographic market. Pay is based on a number of factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Amazon is a total compensation company. Dependent on the position offered, equity, sign-on payments, and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits.
