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.

Key job responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain automated metrology programs for various Coordinate Measuring Machine types in support of precise dimensional characterization of space hardware.
  • Use CMMs with metrology software to uncover details around dimensional failures of space hardware.
  • Use laser tracking systems to align and characterize sensitive production system equipment.
  • Provide Design For Manufacturing feedback to stakeholders in the development of new production processes.
  • Support partner teams in need of metrology programming expertise.

A day in the life

This role is for a highly dynamic and motivated individual that will work with various production system stakeholders. To be successful in this role you will need to author, maintain and troubleshoot various types of metrology equipment in support of high rate, production system operations. You will partner with Manufacturing, Design and Quality engineers to ensure both space hardware as well as production system hardware meet rigorous aerospace requirements. You will create and maintain Standard Operating Procedures, investigate anomalies and provide feedback where the root cause of non-conformances is ambiguous.

About the team

The Manufacturing Systems team is a center of excellence for manufacturing engineering within a fast-growing satellite production organization. Our engineers provide Design for Manufacturability expertise across design and production teams, including GD&T reviews, tolerance analysis, and process troubleshooting on complex assemblies. The team supports a world-class internal precision machine shop, drives optimization of manufacturing execution and product lifecycle management systems, and operates a hands-on fabrication and tooling group focused on production continuity and lean process improvement. We work cross-functionally alongside design, quality, supply chain, and software teams, playing a foundational role in scaling production to meet ambitious program milestones.

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
