Amazon LEO is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Amazon LEO will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

We are building the next generation of optical interconnect systems, and reliability is at the heart of what we do. We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled Optical Reliability Engineer to join our OISL Reliability team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the long-term reliability and performance of optical systems, components, and subsystems - including optical amplifiers and laser-based technologies. You will work cross-functionally with design, systems, and test engineering teams to develop and execute reliability strategies that meet product quality and lifetime requirements. You will have the opportunity to work on state of the art optical technologies, collaborate with world-class engineers, and make a direct impact on product quality and customer satisfaction.

Key job responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and maintain reliability models and frameworks for optical and electrical components
  • Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis (FTA), and root cause analysis (RCA) for optical systems and subsystems
  • Define and execute accelerated life testing (ALT) and highly accelerated life testing (HALT) programs for optical components
  • Apply reliability growth models, Weibull analysis, and other statistical tools to predict and improve product lifetime
  • Collaborate with system-level engineering teams to assess and improve overall system reliability and availability
  • Establish reliability requirements and verification plans for new product development programs
  • Develop and maintain reliability documentation including test plans, reports, and specifications
  • Support qualification and validation activities for optical and electrical components and assemblies
  • Communicate reliability findings and recommendations to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders

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
