Additional Information
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.
This is a broad scoped position providing manufacturing engineering ownership of multiple assemblies for the Leo's satellite program. You will be supporting new satellite assemblies early in the production ramp phase, providing critical design for manufacturability input and supporting testing of these assemblies.
As the lead Manufacturing Engineer for mechanical sub-assemblies, you will be directly responsible for the production process development, introduction, improvement, & maintenance of key hardware on our next generation spacecraft. You'll be the leading technical voice for a team of manufacturing engineers working on the product, solving challenging technical problems associated with ramping production.
