Environmental Test Engineer, Space Simulation Lab

Job :  | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we’ve designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

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.

• Serve as primary owner for an assigned class of environmental test equipment (Thermal, TVAC, Vibe, Shock, or HASS), managing configurations, maintenance, calibration, and improvement projects.
• Provide technical leadership during troubleshooting events, driving issues from first response through root cause and corrective action.
• Manage relationships with 3rd-party equipment vendors (service, spares, upgrades, escalations).

• Establish standardized test processes and work instructions that enable technicians to operate with minimal engineer supervision.
• Train and mentor technicians on equipment operation and troubleshooting; keep documentation accurate and current.

• Analyze test data to validate ability of test procedures to meet requirements.
• Identify and lead projects that increase throughput, reduce cycle time, and improve first-pass yield.

• Read and triage simple errors in LabVIEW and Python code execution; clearly articulate failures to support teams for more complex issues.
• Apply understanding of control loops used in environmental test (thermal ramp control, vacuum/pressure control, shaker control) to diagnose equipment behavior.

This is a build job, not a maintain job. We're scaling SSL fast and we need an engineer who looks at tribal knowledge and turns it into standard work; who looks at a vendor's response time and decides it's not good enough; who can read a thermal ramp trace or a shaker response curve and tell you whether it's a tuning problem, a hardware problem, or a software problem.

You will have autonomy, a direct line to leadership, and a tangible connection between the work you do this week and the hardware that leaves Earth next quarter. If you want your engineering decisions to show up in orbit — not just in a dashboard — come build this with us.
