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 looking for a Software Development Manager to lead the software team that builds the frameworks, tools, and data systems used to test, calibrate, validate, and monitor our phased array antennas and RF communication systems at scale. Your team will sit at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, and cloud-scale software, and will directly impact the performance of antennas and terminals deployed on satellites and at customer sites. You will hire and develop a team of software and systems development engineers that build automation for performance testing and calibration, run large-scale data and ML pipelines, and deliver tools that make it easy for RF, antenna, EMI/EMC, and validation engineers to understand and improve system performance. This Software Development Manager role is part of the Phased Array Systems organization for Amazon Leo. Our broader org owns: - Phased array systems: system-level architecture and performance of digital phased arrays and RF chains - Phased array design: element, aperture, and module design across space and ground segments - EMI/EMC: electromagnetic compatibility for payloads, terminals, and supporting electronics - RF communications systems: link design, modem/waveform integration, and end-to-end RF performance - Calibration & validation: algorithms, test systems, and field validation for antennas and RF systems The software team you will lead builds the software backbone that ties these groups together. We own the tools that test, calibrate, and validate antenna and RF performance from early prototypes through mass production and deployment. We work directly with antennas, RF front-ends, chambers, test racks, and fleet telemetry, operating at the intersection of RF hardware, software automation, and large-scale system integration. We leverage AWS and scalable software architectures to accelerate development, automate validation, and deliver reliable test systems used across Leo. If you want to see your team’s software directly affect the performance of real hardware in orbit and in customers’ homes, this is the place to do it.
