Senior TPM - Embedded Software, Leo

Senior Technical Program Manager

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From households to small businesses, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve communities and organizations operating in places without dependable internet access.

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the embedded software for the Leo direct-to-device (DTD) payload system. This is a high-impact role where your work will directly influence how quickly and reliably we deploy the DTD constellation and enable service to our customers.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will own the end-to-end technical program strategy for DTD payload embedded software, from architecture and design through verification and deployment.

Key job responsibilities include:

• Leading technical program management of embedded software for the Leo DTD satellite payload, ensuring our Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) solutions perform flawlessly in real-world environments.
• Driving programs from early architecture and design through integration and qualification testing, ensuring these critical systems meet performance, reliability, and schedule requirements.
• Developing mechanisms and processes connecting Leo engineering and business teams, software vendors and partners to build the Leo NTN solution.
• Serving as the central program leader across a diverse set of cross-functional teams—from business development, communication systems, software engineering, to systems integration and test, manufacturing and production operations—to deliver payload software for Leo NTN solution.
• Aligning teams across organizations, removing obstacles, and ensuring complex technical programs move forward with speed, clarity, and accountability.
• Developing and maintaining program plans that track major milestones across feature development, design reviews, integration activities, qualification testing, and end-to-end network readiness.
• Proactively identifying technical and programmatic risks, building mitigation strategies, and communicating clear status updates to engineering leaders and stakeholders to ensure alignment across the organization.
• Helping transition from early development of DTD payload software to large-scale DTD solution supported by the Leo DTD constellation, device ecosystem and core networks.
• Collaborating with engineering teams, manufacturing and production operations as well as software vendors, and test equipment vendors to scale the production of DTD satellites. This includes managing performance, reliability, and test automation of payload embedded software.
