# Phased Array DSP & Digital Beamforming Architect, Payload Architecture Team

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite constellation initiative designed to bring fast, affordable broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. We are building a next-generation satellite system from the ground up - designing everything from the spacecraft and payload to the ground infrastructure and customer terminals. This is a rare opportunity to join a team that is shaping the future of global connectivity at scale. We are looking for a Phased Array DSP & Digital Beamforming Architect to join the Payload Architecture team in San Diego. This is a cross-program position that sits at the intersection of satellite system performance and phased array digital implementation - translating what the constellation needs to deliver into how the digital beamforming, signal processing, and data transport must be architected across both the Direct-to-Device (cellular-band) and Broadband (Ka-band) payloads. You will work closely with experienced architects and engineers across silicon, communication systems, and software disciplines, contributing to an architecture that must perform reliably from first power-on through years of unattended operatio
