# Communications Engineer, Production Network Performance, Amazon Leo

We are looking for an engineer who builds data pipelines and writes code to understand a live satellite network.

You will join a new, interdisciplinary team that covers software and data pipelines, radio frequency (RF) and link performance, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) automation, networking, systems integration and test, and production operations and
