Amazon • Kirkland, WA

11h

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 are hiring a Production Coordinator for our Back-half day shift (Wed-Sat 6am-4:30pm) that will streamline the movement of parts between departments, areas, processes, and systems and be a creator of the systems necessary to minimize overhead, reduce non-value-add processes, improve on-time delivery of product to downstream customers, and invent methods for flexible but efficient production. This will require a knowledgeable person of many aspects of aerospace production, including traceability, demand planning, flexible but efficient change management, broad aerospace assembly, testing, and handling requirements, application of six sigma and lean methodologies while enabling faster design changes and improvements and reducing the need for reviews, approvals, and manual interactions. The Production Coordinator role is critical to streamlining part movement throughout the factory. This includes the monitoring of the factory operation and addressing logistical problems inside the factory. This means regularly interacting with warehouse and logistics teams when parts are missing, late, or blocked, both physically and electronically, and then permanently solving the root cause. This includes interfacing with the test lab for staging/queuing of products with specific focus on improved flexibility of operation while minimizing non-value add communication and operation. It also entails constantly reducing "red tape" and overhead needed to maintain and improve quality, requiring work with automation, quality, enterprise technology, and manufacturing teams. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to remove non-value-add operations, reduce down-time, improve quality of the products, and reduce lead-time of builds and tests. We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.
