About The Position

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the satellite network with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. 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. To deliver on that mission, Amazon is looking for talented candidates who are intellectually curious, have solved complex problems, and have a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. In this role, you’ll join Amazon Leo's Power Systems Test team as a Test Engineer. This is a hardware engineering position focused on power system verification in our satellite mass-production facility. You will innovate and solve engineering issues that arise during the test of each satellite's integrated power system, specifically covering production, integration, testing, storage, handling, shipping of the Leo spacecraft. You will be supporting the vehicle integrated test operations line along side Design, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to improve operational efficiency, deploy new test procedures, and develop engineering dispositions related to non-conformances. You will work hard, have fun, and make history! This Test Engineer will require familiarity and expertise on design, manufacturing, test, validation, and qualification of modern power systems for autonomous vehicles (drones, satellites, EVs, etc.).

Requirements

• BS degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
• 4+ years of demonstrated experience in a operations, design, or test role within the battery, energy storage, solar, consumer electronics, automotive, aviation, or space industry
• Experience in requirements definition, verification compliance for complex electrical systems
• Ability to dive deeply into electrical schematics to perform root cause analysis on unexpected power systems faults

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent
• Experience with the project management of technical projects
• Experience working with interdisciplinary teams to build and execute complex, comprehensive system-level test plans
• System test verification experience in the area of power conversion, power systems, solar, battery, electric vehicles, satellites, or rockets.
• Experience deploying solutions to solve complex and ambiguous problems in manufacturing, automation, and test
• Proficiency in data analysis tools and techniques (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or similar) to analyze test data, manufacturing metrics, interface with test equipment, and visualize results

Responsibilities

• Be the first point of contact between production, test, and design teams for operational support and triage of issues during integrated satellite power systems testing and manufacturing
• Work to implement new tests, processes, and tools to aid the testing, storage, and shipping of satellite power systems components and integrated systems
• Identify and implement opportunities to improve quality, efficiency, and robustness of all test processes
• Develop standard repairs, rework procedures, propose design for manufacturing and test (DFM/DFT) improvements, improved processes and work instructions; and training for new operators and technicians
• Develop reporting tools on test KPIs, lead small integrated product teams between customers, stakeholders, and suppliers
• Work with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering experts to provide root cause failure analyses and implement corrective actions that reduce repeat non-conformances
• Although not routine, this role may require standing for long periods of time, climbing up and down ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, and stretching. The role may require lifting up to 25lbs unassisted.
