Manufacturing Assembly Technician III (2nd Shift), Amazon Leo

Amazon • Kirkland, WA

1d • $37 - $40 • Onsite

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.

The success of Amazon Leo depends on the quality, reliability, cost,
manufacturability, throughput, and security of the products that you deliver. If
you seek a fast-paced, dynamic environment; if you thrive on solving difficult
problems where resolutions have high impact; and if you love the challenge of
building something from scratch, then this role will be an ideal next career
step. To be successful you need to be highly motivated and detail oriented while
showing the highest standards of execution.

The Integration Technician III is responsible for the assembly of Amazon Leo
satellites. You will work closely with engineering, test, quality and operations
teams to deliver Amazon Leo production hardware to final integration. Your day
will involve hands-on responsibilities such as mechanical assembly, avionics
integration, rigging, harnessing connections, fiber optic splicing and testing,
requiring attention to detail, precision and adaptability. You’ll ensure that
every satellite build meets the highest standards of quality, workmanship, and
safety, while maintaining strict timelines to support launch schedules.

Our MYPY Team builds critical electronic panels and antennas that allow
satellites to communicate with Earth. These components transmit data and receive
commands from ground stations—essential functions for any satellite mission.

We are a collaborative team working across four shifts, partnering closely with
the final integration team who installs our completed panels into satellites.
Our goal is to deliver exceptional quality, efficiency, and execution for our
customers by creating stable workflows and fostering positive team engagement.
