Data Scientist , Leo Customer Terminal

At Amazon, we’re inventing on behalf of customers, and with Amazon Leo, we’re

redefining what global connectivity looks like. Our mission is to deliver fast,

affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world

through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Every system we

build helps connect people to education, healthcare, opportunity, and each

other.

As a Data Scientist, you will be responsible for developing advanced analytics

and machine learning solutions for user terminals. You will develop predictive

models to proactively identify possible user terminal failures in the field. You

will work in a collaborative environment with a multi-disciplinary team,

including constellation, RF, antenna, silicon, algorithm, and software

engineers.

Key job responsibilities

As a Data Scientist, you will develop analytic tools for a team developing

current and future user terminals. Your responsibilities include:

• Develop statistical and analytical tool to enable the regression decision from

on-orbit and lab measurement of user terminals

• Publish documents and create compelling visualizations and presentations to

communicate insights to stakeholders

• Create and manage datasets for continued pre-training and supervised

fine-tuning of LLMs

• Develop scalable visualizations for analysis of user terminal performance

• Work closely with constellation, RF, antenna, silicon, algorithm, and software

engineers to root-cause the failures using data as the primary tool

• Drive consensus on metrics and analysis approaches to support product

development strategy

Export Control Requirement:

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S.

citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder),

or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

A day in the life

As a Data Scientist in the LEO Customer Terminal Team, you will work daily with

satellite constellation, algorithm, RF, antenna, silicon, hardware, and software

teams in a collaborative environment. Your focus will be using data as an

intelligence source to enable design decisions for the team.

About the team

The LEO Customer Terminal team is responsible for developing both outdoor and

indoor devices that enable customers to access internet service via the LEO

satellite network. We own the entire process from early prototypes through mass

production, including requirements documentation, architecture definition,

hardware development, algorithm development, and all integration and

verification testing. Basic
