Satellite Wireless Systems Simulation Engineer, Wireless Systems

Project Kuiper, an ambitious Amazon initiative, is seeking a Satellite Wireless Systems Simulation Engineer to join their mission of providing global broadband connectivity through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. This role sits at the intersection of aerospace engineering and distributed systems, focusing on developing and analyzing system resource allocation techniques for satellite communications.

The position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of satellite communications, working on cutting-edge technology with few legacy constraints. You'll be responsible for developing simulation models, optimizing network resources, and ensuring optimal system performance from capacity, coverage, power consumption, and availability perspectives.

The role requires expertise in satellite system design, strong programming skills (particularly in Matlab), and a deep understanding of RF and optical link budgets. You'll work within a collaborative team environment, conducting complex trade studies and developing algorithms that will directly impact the system's efficiency and performance.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about space technology and distributed systems, offering competitive compensation ($129,800 - $212,800) and comprehensive benefits. The position is based in the Seattle area and requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control requirements.

Join Amazon's Project Kuiper team to help bridge the digital divide by bringing high-speed internet to unserved and underserved communities worldwide through innovative satellite technology.
