Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC - Redmond, WA

Full-time - Senior

Redmond, WA

About the position

The Senior Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (EMI and EMC) Engineer will be part of the Antenna Team at Amazon's Project Kuiper, which aims to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites for providing broadband connectivity. This role involves developing requirements, reviewing designs, and building test capabilities for complex payload subsystems, ensuring that hardware meets EMI/EMC qualifications. The engineer will lead test campaigns and influence decision-making processes related to EMI/EMC testing and compliance.

Responsibilities

• Define requirements for testing and qualifying subsystems
• Perform analysis of radiated and conducted emissions, susceptibility (RE/CE/RS/CS)
• Perform lightning analysis and surface/bulk charging
• Develop models for interference and shielding issues to mitigate and control emissions and susceptibility
• Work with electronic component design teams to communicate requirements related to electromagnetic environments such as shielding, grounding, bonding and isolation
• Work with subsystem design owners on EMI related challenges
• Define and coordinate EMI and EMC testing for a satellite and its subsystems
• Develop and maintain EMI/EMC test labs and equipment and support execution of EMI/EMC testing for a satellite and its subsystems
• Identify emission and susceptibility non-conformance. Debug all failures to root-cause and provide manufacturable solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent degree, or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of experience in a hardware development role focusing on electromagnetic environments or EMI/EMC
• 5+ years of experience with defining and conducting EMI/EMC testing for electronic components and systems
• Experience with EMC industry standards and specifications for aerospace such as MIL-STD-461 and AIAA S-121A

Nice-to-haves

• PhD or Master in Electrical Engineering, Physics or related degree
• 7+ years of experience in spaceflight avionics development as an electromagnetic environments effects engineer
• Experience with using analysis to define requirements for emissions and susceptibility of avionics components
• Experience modelling electromagnetic environments using electromagnetic (EM) computational commercial software.

Benefits

• Full range of medical benefits
• Financial benefits including equity and sign-on payments
• Comprehensive employee benefits package
