About The Position

Our goal is to be Earth's most customer centric company, and we are just getting started. We need people who want to join an ambitious program that continues to push the state of the art in space-based systems design. 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. 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 We are looking for an excellent engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively: As a Sr. Power Avionics Hardware Test Engineer you will work within the development engineering team to support production of avionics hardware. You will be responsible for dispositioning nonconforming parts, and leading the material review board (MRB) for your system(s); working with the design team to root-cause issues for both components and test systems. You will support the overall manufacturing test flow and strive for process excellence, looking for opportunities to improve yield and efficiency. You will be an expert in how your system(s) are tested and provide training support for manufacturing technicians, as well as co-develop and sign off on manufacturing procedures. You will work with a team of top-notch engineers and collaborate with multiple other spacecraft design and integration teams. You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before. Along the way, we guarantee that you will learn a lot, have fun and make a positive impact on tens of millions of people! Our team is responsible for designing and delivering power avionics subsystems such as propulsion control, solar array deployment and control, and magnetorquer bars. We take ownership and work hard to deliver the highest quality solutions to support the long-term success of Amazon Leo. This team consists of a broad set of technical backgrounds, and we look forward to welcoming people that are excited to help us deliver broadband internet to underserved communities!
