21h • $30 - $50 • Onsite

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.

One of the most ambitious missions that Leo has undertaken to date, the Leo
satellite constellation, is our solution to providing reliable internet to
around the world. We are looking for talented technicians to help process Leo
satellites to prepare them for launch into Low Earth Orbit.

The success of Leo depends on the quality, reliability, cost, integration,
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 Process Lead will work closely with cross-functional engineering, test,
quality and operations teams on flight hardware integration processes. This
position requires skill and experience in a variety of areas, including
mechanical assembly, propellent loading, rigging, electrical checkouts and
satellite troubleshooting. In short, you will be responsible for a majority of
the most critical tasks to process and integrate the Leo satellite for launch,
ensuring high quality, workmanship and safety standards are adhered to on a
daily basis.

Here at Amazon, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our
culture of inclusion. Amazon has ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching
40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit
offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences. Amazon’s culture of
inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team
members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

At Amazon, our mission is to be the most customer-centric company on Earth. To
get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright and driven people. We're
dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience
levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates
knowledge sharing and mentorship.
