Position: Manufacturing Engineer, Amazon Leo for Government (ALG), SEIT | MFG
Location: Northridge

Description

Amazon Leo is an initiative within Amazon that aims to revolutionize global connectivity through the development of a state-of-the-art Low Earth Orbit (LEO) interconnected satellite communication constellation. Our mission is to bridge the digital divide by delivering high-speed, low latency, internet services to underserved and unserved communities and remote communities around the world. By leveraging satellite technology, we are working towards a future where everyone has access to reliable and high-quality internet connectivity regardless of their location.

The Amazon Leo for Government (ALG) Engineering organization is a multi-disciplinary technology team established to rapidly address the needs of targeted government and international customers with specific solutions that have the potential to scale.  ALG Engineering leads the development and delivery of targeted and scalable solutions for custom space and terrestrial applications.  ALG collaborates closely with Amazon Leo to leverage the constellation of advanced satellites to provide seamless and efficient communication capabilities to meet the needs of our customers.  

The ALG Engineering team is seeking highly technical and talented individuals who are passionate about creating unique solutions that result in a positive impact on a global scale.

The Manufacturing Engineer will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to architect, design, and implement processes and tools to manufacture at scale space-based and terrestrial product solutions.  The Manufacturing Engineer will work closely with colleagues throughout ALG inter-disciplinary teams and collaborate with key partners and suppliers to ensure ALG products are manufactured efficiently with the utmost quality to ensure our products exceed customer expectations.  

The Manufacturing Engineer must be responsive, flexible, innovative, and able to succeed within a collaborative, fast-paced, dynamic environment.

As a member of the ALG Engineering Systems Engineering, Integration, Test, and Manufacturing organization, you will be responsible for architecting, implementing, and maintaining the digital infrastructure that connects our enterprise systems and enables efficient, compliant manufacturing execution on the development operations shop floor.  The Manufacturing Engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams including Systems Engineering, Integration & Test Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Quality Engineering, Enterprise Technology, and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) to ensure seamless integration between our MES platform, ERP/MRP system, and PLM system.

This role is critical to support our High-Mix/Low-Volume (HM/LV) manufacturing environment for space-based and terrestrial products, including satellite bus components, payloads components, and custom terminals.

The ideal candidate has a strong technical background in space systems build, integration, and test of complex electronics, electro-mechanical, electro-optical, and opto-mechanical subsystems.  This candidate should enjoy taking ownership over complex problems and delivering well-executed results of high-quality and can work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment that provides significant autonomy to be creative in devising and verifying various engineering approaches to meet technical and programmatic requirements.
