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 satellite test
systems development and launch vehicle electrical integration. This role sits at
the intersection of systems engineering, hardware, software, test, and

In this role, you will act as the end-to-end Sr. TPM for satellite test systems
and launch vehicle electrical integration. Your TPM leadership will drive
delivery of complex projects involving system verification, network
communication, electrical design, mechanical design, manufacturing, testing, and
software. 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.
