About The Position

At Amazon, we’re inventing on behalf of customers, and with Amazon Leo, we’re
redefining what global connectivity looks like. Our mission is to deliver fast,
affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world
through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Every system we
build helps connect people to education, healthcare, opportunity, and each
other.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead Flight
Electronics development. This role sits at the intersection of systems
engineering, hardware, software, test, and manufacturing, driving complex
programs that ultimately become part of the LEO satellite infrastructure
powering global connectivity.

In this role, you will act as the end-end Sr. TPM for Flight Electronics
systems. Your TPM leadership will drive delivery of complex projects involving
system architecture, modem, RF communication systems, electrical design,
mechanical design, embedded software, thermal design, reliability design,
manufacturing, and test. You'll develop integrated plans, drive execution, and
remove blockers to enable teams to deliver faster and with higher quality. Your
ability to see around corners and proactively manage dependencies and risks will
be critical to our success.

This is an individual contributor role with broad organizational influence.
You’ll drive alignment and execution leveraging your technical domain knowledge,
strong program management fundamentals, and trusted partnerships.
