About The Position

Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit
satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to
unserved and underserved communities around the world.

The Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer Manager will lead FIRST SHIFT assembly,
integration and test flows for space hardware builds . This individual will work
closely with and manage engineering and manufacturing teams to offload, health
check, and propellant load Amazon Leo satellites.

The Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer Manager is a technical leader of the team,
providing guidance on many aspects including but not limited to testing
requirements, assembly/integration workcell design within the payload processing
facilities, facility and equipment planning, integration and test application
implementation and improvement, process control, design for manufacturability,
project management, and tooling design.

The ideal candidate is comfortable in a highly technical setting and leads
collaboration with other departments to reach the best solution to any problem
