Project Kuiper 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.

The Manufacturing Engineer Manager will lead SECOND SHIFT assembly, integration and test flows for space hardware builds . This individual will work closely with and manage engineering and manufacturing teams to integrate Kuiper satellites with dispenser and launch vehicle hardware.

The Manufacturing Engineer Manager is a technical leader of the team, providing guidance on many aspects including but not limited to testing requirements, assembly / integration workcell design within the payload processing facilities, facility and equipment planning, integration and test application implementation and improvement, process control, design for manufacturability, project management, and tooling design.

The ideal candidate is comfortable in a highly technical setting and leads collaboration with other departments to reach the best solution to any problem and is able to technically challenge assumptions and requirements of these departments, such as dynamics and thermal analysis, design engineering, and tooling engineering.

Additionally, a Manufacturing Engineer Manager is expected to set objectives for the team overall, not only identifying the right long term strategies but implementing them on their assemblies and responsibilities, leading by example first and then by instruction. They'll have extensive experience in space hardware integration and test, with particular focus on satellite to dispenser and / or launch vehicle integration.

Key job responsibilities

A day in the life

The Manufacturing Engineer Manager will spend significant amounts of time collaborating with engineering, quality, and manufacturing to test satellites, dispensers and oversee hardware integration. They will oversee their assembly, integration and test workstation, address root cause of failures and issues, and implement production control and optimization strategies. They will be the front line lead to deliver their space hardware product value stream, implementing engineering best practices in a safe and repeatable manner, implementing efficiency improvements and reducing non-conformances.

We are a fast-paced, data-driven team, and work with leaders in multiple technology areas to deliver the best product for our customers. We hold each other to relentlessly high standards, and constantly look for ways to improve the product’s performance, quality and cost. We are excited about the technical challenges, which motivates us rather than discourages us.

We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.
