About The Position

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. We're looking for an Electrical Engineer to focus on process development and electrical failure root cause analysis. As Engineer for a Line Replaceable unit at Amazon Leo, you will be directly responsible for failure root cause and analysis, production process development and improvement of a key module on our next generation spacecraft. You’ll be a leading technical voice for a team of manufacturing engineers working on the product, solving challenging technical problems associated with delivering an ultra-high-performing optical, electrical, and mechanical module to space. You will serve as a key connection between design/development, factory operations, quality engineering, program management, vendor and more as you drive the manufacturing processes from initial production introduction to full rate production. You’ll solve complex industrial challenges associated with balancing production velocity, exceptional quality, and cost competitive production concepts while ensuring smooth technical execution of current production operations. You’ll be a key animating force in the increase in production capacity through vision & execution of capital investment for production scaling & automation.
